What is Utovlan?
Utovlan contains norethisterone, a synthetic hormone that mimics the effects of progesterone. The Family Chemist prescribe it to delay menstrual cycles up to 17 days for special occasions.
When you are on your period, your body experiences a natural decrease in its norethisterone levels, which causes your womb lining to shed. By taking Utovlan, your progesterone levels remain stable, resulting in a delay of your menstrual period.
At The Family Chemist, we understand that menstrual irregularities can impact your daily life and well-being. That’s why we offer Utovlan 5mg tablets, a medication that can help you manage and regulate your menstrual cycle when needed.
The benefits of Utovlan
- Menstrual cycle regulation: Utovlan can help regulate irregular menstrual cycles, providing predictability and convenience.
- It can be prescribed to manage heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) by reducing the duration and flow of periods.
