About SUVIDHA TABLET

SUVIDHA TABLET belongs to the class of medications called ‘contraceptives’ primarily used for birth control and treating dysmenorrhea (irregular and painful periods). Contraception is a procedure that aims to prevent pregnancy and is used in family planning. Dysmenorrhea is irregular and painful, leading to abdominal pain, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, and nausea.

SUVIDHA TABLET is a combination of three medicines: Levonorgesterol, Ethinylestradiol, and Ferrous fumarate. SUVIDHA TABLET works by preventing the release of an egg from ovaries and making sperm entry difficult to enter in the uterus to fertilise sperm and egg. In addition to this, SUVIDHA TABLET prevents the thickening of the uterus's inner wall, required for an egg growth in the uterus. Ferrous fumarate is required to make up for the amount of iron in the women lost during their menstrual period.

You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side effects are acne, amenorrhea (absence of menses), tenderness, pain, or swelling of the breasts, decrease in the secretion of breast milk after giving birth, dizziness, oedema (fluid retention), gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramps, and bloating, unwanted hair growth, intolerance to contact lenses, changes in sexual desire, loss of scalp hair, change in menstrual flow, dark patches on the skin, mood changes, nausea, nervousness, vaginal discharge, vomiting, and loss or gain of appetite. If the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not take SUVIDHA TABLET if you are allergic to any contents of it. Please do not smoke while you are using SUVIDHA TABLET as it increases the risk of a blood clot.

Disease/Condition Glossary

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.

Dysmenorrhea: It is irregular and painful periods leading to abdominal pain/cramps, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, nausea. Generally, a menstrual cycle is about 25-30 days. But in dysmenorrhea, this cycle may be short or prolonged, leading to excessive pain.
