Valgestril 21 Tablets

Medication Name: Valgestril 21 Tablets

Active Ingredients:

• Ethinylestradiol 0.03 mg

• Gestodene 0.075 mg

Pharmacological Class:
Combined oral contraceptive (estrogen + progestin)

Dosage Form:
Tablets — each pack contains 21 active tablets

Indications:

• Prevention of pregnancy

• Regulation of menstrual cycles

• Reduction of dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation)

• Management of acne or oily skin associated with hormonal imbalance (in some cases)

Mechanism of Action:
Valgestril inhibits ovulation by suppressing the secretion of gonadotropins (LH and FSH). It also increases the viscosity of cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the ovum, and alters the endometrium to prevent implantation.

Dosage and Administration:

• Take one tablet daily for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day break with no tablets.

• Start the next pack after the 7-day break, even if menstruation is still ongoing.

• Begin the first tablet on the first day of menstruation for immediate contraceptive protection.

Precautions:

• Contraindicated in women with a history of thromboembolic disease, liver disorders, uncontrolled hypertension, or estrogen-dependent tumors.

• Smoking increases the risk of cardiovascular side effects, particularly in women over 35 years.

• Not suitable during pregnancy or lactation.

• Nausea or vomiting

• Breast tenderness

• Headache or migraine

• Mood swings
