NONOXYNOL belongs to the class of medicines called spermicidal contraceptives used to prevent pregnancy. Pregnancy is the period in which the fetus develops inside a womb or uterus of a woman. It occurs when a sperm fertilizes an egg.
NONOXYNOL contains Nonoxynol-9 which breaks the outer covering of sperms and kills them. Thereby, it prevents pregnancy.
Use NONOXYNOL as advised by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience vaginal irritation, burning, bad-smelling vaginal discharge, or difficulty in urination. Most of these side effects of NONOXYNOL do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to NONOXYNOL or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. NONOXYNOL is not recommended for pregnant women. If you are breastfeeding, consult a doctor before taking NONOXYNOL. If you are at risk of getting HIV (AIDS) or any other sexually transmitted disease, it is advised to use a latex condom to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.
