About Richova-Sr Tablet

Richova-Sr Tablet (also known as DHEA)  is an oral hormonal supplement prescribed to help restore balance to your body's hormone levels and support reproductive health. It is commonly used as a supportive therapy for women experiencing a decline in ovarian reserve or undergoing fertility treatments to improve egg quality. By providing key hormone precursors, Richova-Sr Tablet helps maintain metabolic and reproductive functions.

To get the best results, you must take Richova-Sr Tablet consistently at the same time every day as directed by your healthcare provider. You can take this tablet with or without food, though taking it with a meal can help prevent mild stomach discomfort. Combining this therapy with a nutrient-rich diet and regular stress management can further support your hormone health.

While taking Richova-Sr Tablet, some people experience mild side effects like oily skin, acne, or slight changes in hair thickness. However, you should consult your doctor immediately if you experience more serious symptoms, such as deep voice changes, unusual facial hair growth, or a rapid heart rate.
