Medicinal Benefits

Unwanted-21 Days Tablet 21's is an oral hormonal combination drug primarily used for contraception. Unwanted-21 Days Tablet 21's 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, Unwanted-21 Days Tablet 21's helps prevent pregnancy.

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.
