Product Introduction

Cestel 30 tablet is an oral contraceptive containing two active ingredients: Ethinyl Estradiol, a synthetic estrogen, and Dienogest, a progestin. This medication belongs to the hormonal contraceptive class and is indicated for birth control and the treatment of endometriosis. By regulating hormone levels, it helps prevent unwanted pregnancies and alleviates endometriosis-related symptoms. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage to ensure effectiveness and minimise potential risks. Patients with a history of blood clots, liver disease, or uncontrolled hypertension should avoid Cestel 30 Tablets. Additionally, it is not recommended during pregnancy and should be used cautiously in breastfeeding mothers. Like other hormonal contraceptives, it may interact with certain medications, requiring medical consultation before starting therapy.

Uses

Cestel 30 tablet uses are: Contraception – Prevents pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and altering cervical mucus. Endometriosis treatment – Reduces pain and suppresses endometrial tissue growth. Menstrual cycle regulation – Helps manage irregular or painful periods. Acne management (off-label) – Reduces androgen levels to improve skin condition.

How it works

Cestel 30 Tablet works by stabilising hormone levels in the body. Ethinyl Estradiol increases estrogen levels, preventing the natural surge that triggers ovulation. Dienogest, a synthetic progestin, thickens cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the uterus. It also alters the uterine lining, reducing the chances of implantation. In women with endometriosis, this Cestel 30 Tablet helps reduce estrogen stimulation, slowing the growth of endometrial tissue and alleviating associated pain. By maintaining hormonal balance, it also regulates menstrual cycles and reduces symptoms of hormonal acne.

How to Use

Cestel 30 Tablet is available in oral tablet form and should be taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day to maintain its effectiveness. It can be taken with or without food, depending on personal preference. To ensure optimal contraceptive efficacy, it is essential not to skip doses. If starting this medication for the first time, it is recommended to begin on the first day of menstruation for immediate protection against pregnancy.
