SEVISTA 10MG TABLET

SEVISTA 10MG TABLET is primarily used for contraception and the management of certain gynaecological conditions. The detailed uses of SEVISTA 10MG TABLET are as follows:

• Contraception (Birth Control): SEVISTA 10MG TABLET does not contain synthetic oestrogen or progesterone. Instead, it acts selectively on oestrogen receptors (as a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator [SERM]) to produce its contraceptive effect.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding): It helps control and normalise heavy, prolonged, or irregular menstrual bleeding by regulating the effects of oestrogen on the uterine lining.

This medication offers several real-world benefits for women seeking safe reproductive healthcare solutions. :

• Contraception without synthetic oestrogen or progesterone: Because it does not contain synthetic oestrogen or progesterone, it avoids many common hormone-related side effects like severe mood swings and bloating.
• Reduced Menstrual Blood Loss: For those suffering from heavy periods, it provides reliable relief, allowing you to return to your daily activities without discomfort or worry.
• Convenient Dosing Schedule: Unlike daily birth control pills, this medication is taken according to a two-phase dosing schedule. During the first 12 weeks, one tablet is taken twice weekly on fixed days. After this loading phase, one tablet is taken once weekly on the same day each week, as advised by your doctor.

• SEVISTA 10MG TABLET can be taken with or without food as advised by your doctor.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
• Swallow SEVISTA 10MG TABLET as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not crush, break, or chew it.

• Maintain a Menstrual Calendar: Keep track of your menstrual cycle, including period dates, flow intensity, and any missed doses of your medication. This helps you and your doctor monitor your treatment effectively.
• Eat an Iron-Rich Diet: Include iron-rich foods such as leafy green vegetables, beans, lentils, and lean meats to help replenish iron stores and support healthy red blood cell production if you experience heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Avoid Smoking: Refrain from smoking, as it may increase the risk of cardiovascular complications and reduce your overall reproductive health.
• Stay Hydrated and Physically Active: Drink plenty of water and engage in regular moderate exercise to support overall well-being, maintain healthy circulation, and promote pelvic health.

• Use Backup Contraception if Needed: Always use a backup barrier contraceptive, such as condoms, if you miss a dose or start the medication later than recommended in your menstrual cycle.
• Attend Regular Gynaecological Check-ups: Perform regular breast self-examinations and keep all scheduled gynaecological appointments to monitor your reproductive health during treatment.
• Take a Pregnancy Test for Delayed Periods: If your menstrual period is delayed by more than 7–10 days, take a pregnancy test before taking your next scheduled dose to rule out pregnancy.
• Do Not Share Your Medication: Never share this medicine with anyone else, even if they have symptoms similar to yours, as treatment should always be based on individual medical advice.
