About Tricycle Tablet

Tricycle Tablet belongs to a group of medications called 'hormonal contraceptives', primarily used for contraception and in treating dysmenorrhea (irregular and painful periods). Contraception is a procedure that aims to prevent unwanted pregnancy for safe family planning. Dysmenorrhea is an irregular and painful menstrual period, that leads to abdominal pain, mood swings, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, and nausea.

Tricycle Tablet is a combination of two medications: Ethinyloestradiol and Levonorgestrel. Tricycle Tablet prevents the release of an egg from the ovary (female reproductive cells) or prevents fertilisation of an egg by sperm (male reproductive cells). Tricycle Tablet may also change the lining of the uterus to prevent the development of a pregnancy. Thus, Tricycle Tablet helps prevent pregnancy.

Tricycle Tablet is an oral hormonal combination drug primarily used for contraception. Tricycle Tablet 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, it prevents the thickening of the uterus's inner wall, which is necessary for an egg to develop. Thereby, Tricycle Tablet helps prevent pregnancy.
