Duoluton L Tablet 21's

Duoluton L Tablet is used for contraception and treating dysmenorrhea (irregular and painful periods). It contains Ethinylestradiol and Levonorgestrel, which maintains a normal menstrual cycle (periods) in women. It works by fulfilling the deficiency of estrogen hormone, thereby preventing symptoms like night sweats, hot flashes, and mood swings. Also, it prevents the release of an egg from the ovary (female reproductive cells) or prevents fertilization of an egg by sperm (male reproductive cells). It may also change the lining of the uterus to prevent the development of a pregnancy. It may cause side effects such as stomach pain, headache, nausea, breast pain, weight gain, and irregular uterine bleeding. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

Health Queries

Is duoluton L used to delay menstruation? Why does my vaginal entrance boil on a regular basis in the same spot?

Y. Lakshmi Thulasi

Duoluton L can be used to delay or regulate menstruation because it contains hormones that control the cycle, but it should be taken only under a doctor?s advice. Recurrent boils at the vaginal entrance are often due to infections like Folliculitis or a blocked gland such as Bartholin cyst. Keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight clothing, and do not squeeze the boil; if it keeps recurring or becomes painful, consult a gynecologist for proper treatment.

Duoluton is given after Intrauterine insemination to support the uterine lining and help implantation of a fertilized egg. It improves the hormonal environment needed for early pregnancy but does not itself cause pregnancy?it only supports it if fertilization has already occurred. Continue it as prescribed, and your doctor will confirm pregnancy with a test after the appropriate time.

I started my period early with heavy bleeding. My doctor prescribed Duoluton L Tablet and said my thyroid test is normal. What should I do?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

You should take Duoluton L Tablet (Ethinylestradiol and Levonorgestrel) exactly as prescribed by your doctor to help control the bleeding and regulate your menstrual cycle. Since your thyroid test is normal, the bleeding is most likely due to a hormonal imbalance. If the bleeding continues or worsens, contact your gynaecologist without delay.
