About Valuecoc-L Tablet

Valuecoc-L Tablet belongs to a group of medications called 'hormonal contraceptives' primarily used for contraception and in treating dysmenorrhea (irregular and painful periods). Contraception is a procedure that aims to prevent unwanted pregnancy for safe family planning. Dysmenorrhea is an irregular and painful menstrual period, that leads to abdominal pain, mood swings, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, and nausea.

Valuecoc-L Tablet is a combination of two medications: Ethinyloestradiol and Levonorgestrel. Valuecoc-L Tablet prevents the release of an egg from the ovary (female reproductive cells) or prevents fertilization of an egg by sperm (male reproductive cells). Valuecoc-L Tablet may also change the lining of the uterus to prevent the development of a pregnancy. Thus, Valuecoc-L Tablet helps prevent pregnancy.

Take Valuecoc-L Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. In some cases, Valuecoc-L Tablet may cause stomach pain, headache, nausea, breast pain, weight gain, and mood swings. Most of these side effects of Valuecoc-L Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, contact your doctor.

Inform your doctor before starting Valuecoc-L Tablet if you are over 35 years or ever have a heart problem, cancer (breast, uterus, or vagina), uterine bleeding, liver, or kidney problems. Do not take Valuecoc-L Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Valuecoc-L Tablet does not prevent the transmission of any sexually transmitted diseases (STD), so use other forms of contraception (condom) during sexual intercourse if you have any STD or AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).

Uses of Valuecoc-L Tablet

Contraception and Dysmenorrhea (irregular menstrual periods).

Directions for Use

Valuecoc-L Tablet is an oral contraceptive pill preferably taken with or without food. It should be taken simultaneously every day for the best results. Valuecoc-L Tablet is generally prescribed for 21 days starting from the first day of your menstrual cycle. Should not take it for the remaining seven days afterwards. The course will remain the same every month.

Medicinal Benefits

Valuecoc-L Tablet is an oral hormonal combination drug primarily used for contraception. Valuecoc-L Tablet contains two female sex hormones, progestin (levonorgestrel) and estrogen (ethinyloestradiol), which help prevent pregnancy in multiple ways. It prevents the release of an egg from the ovaries and makes the fluid present in the cervix thicker, making it difficult for sperm to enter the womb. In addition to this, it prevents the thickening of the uterus's inner wall, which is necessary for an egg to grow. Thereby, Valuecoc-L Tablet helps prevent pregnancy.

Storage

Keep Valuecoc-L Tablet out of the sight and reach of children.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Contraception: It is a procedure that aims to prevent pregnancy. A woman can only get pregnant if sperm fertilizes her egg. Contraception aims to prevent this from happening by keeping egg and sperm apart, by stopping egg production or by 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 a condition in which irregular and painful periods lead to abdominal pain, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, and nausea. Generally, a menstrual cycle is about 25-30 days. However, this cycle may be short or prolonged in dysmenorrhea, leading to excessive pain.
