UNWANTED 21 TAB
₹66.00
The UNWANTED 21 TAB (tablet) is a combined oral contraceptive pill used primarily for preventing pregnancy. It contains the synthetic female hormones Levonorgestrel (0.15 mg) and Ethinylestradiol (0.03 mg), which work together to inhibit ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary).
Key Information
- Primary Use: Contraception (prevention of unwanted pregnancy). It is a regular, daily use pill, not an emergency contraceptive like the single-dose “Unwanted 72” pill.
- Secondary Uses: It can also help regulate menstrual cycles, make periods lighter and less painful, and manage symptoms of conditions like dysmenorrhea (irregular periods) and PCOS.
- How it Works:
- Prevents the release of an egg from the ovaries (ovulation).
- Thickens the mucus in the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to enter the womb.
- Alters the lining of the uterus, making it unsuitable for a fertilized egg to implant.
- Dosage Regimen: It comes in a pack of 21 tablets. One tablet is taken daily at the same time for 21 consecutive days, starting on the first day of the menstrual cycle. This is followed by a 7-day pill-free break, during which withdrawal bleeding (a period) typically occurs. A new pack is started on the 8th day, regardless of whether bleeding has stopped.
Important Precautions and Warnings
- Does Not Protect Against STIs: This tablet only prevents pregnancy; it does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like HIV/AIDS. Condoms should be used for STI prevention.
- Consult a Doctor First: A healthcare provider consultation is essential before starting this medication to ensure it is safe for your specific health condition.
- Contraindications: Do not take this medicine if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, smoke and are over 35 years old, or have a history of blood clots, heart disease, high blood pressure, severe diabetes, liver problems, or certain cancers (breast, cervical, or liver).
- Missed Doses: Missing a dose can reduce the pill’s effectiveness. If you miss one pill, take it as soon as you remember. If you miss multiple pills, use a backup contraceptive method (like condoms) for at least the next seven days and consult your doctor.
Common Side Effects
Most side effects are temporary as your body adjusts to the hormones. Common side effects include:
- Nausea and headache.
- Breast pain or tenderness.
- Weight gain.
- Mood swings or depression.
- Spotting or bleeding between periods.
If you experience severe symptoms like unexplained swelling or pain in the limbs, shortness of breath, chest pain, or changes in vision, stop taking the pill and seek immediate medical attention, as these could be signs of a blood clot.
