Benefits of Ovral G Tablet
In Contraception
Ovral G Tablet is a contraceptive medicine that stops you from getting pregnant in multiple ways. Firstly, it prevents an egg from being released from your ovaries. Secondly, it makes the fluid (mucus) in your cervix thicker, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb. Additionally, it prevents the thickening of the lining of your womb, thereby making it unfavorable for an egg to grow in it. It does not interrupt sex, and you can lead a normal routine life without any worries. Take it as directed by the doctor to get the most benefit.
