About FREWIL TABLET 21'S

FREWIL TABLET 21'S is an oral hormonal combination, containing Ethinylestradiol and Cyproterone used to treat symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) such as acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and irregular periods. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common condition, which affects how women's ovaries work. 

FREWIL TABLET 21'S is a combination of two hormonal medications, ethinylestradiol, and cyproterone used to treat PCOS symptoms such as acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and irregular periods. Cyproterone, works by blocking a male hormone named androgen overproduction in the ovaries and reducing unwanted facial hair growth and acne. Ethinylestradiol, on the other hand, acts as an enhancer. It enhances the effect of cyproterone by reducing the amount of androgens in the blood. Collectively, they both effectively treat the symptoms of PCOS.

Also, do not stop taking FREWIL TABLET 21'S before completing its full course, even if you feel your symptoms are better. The most common side effects of FREWIL TABLET 21'S include weight gain, nausea, tender breast, stomach pain, and headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. If you see swelling or pain in your limbs, chest pain, or shortness of breath, please inform your doctor.

Disease/Condition Glossary

PCOS: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition, which affects how women's ovaries work. It is characterized by irregular and painful periods, excess androgen in the blood (leading to excessive facial hair and acne), and polycystic ovaries (ovaries become enlarge and the egg become surrounded by fluid-filled sacs).

Contraception: It is a procedure that aims to prevent pregnancy. A woman can only get pregnant if a man sperm fertilizes her egg. Contraception aims to prevent this from happening by keeping egg and sperm apart by stopping egg production or not letting the uterus wall become thick. As a result, no fertilization takes place, so contraception is a safe method for family planning.
