Dronis 30mg Tablets

Introduction to Dronis 30 Tablets

Dronis 30 Tablet is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains two active ingredients: ethinylestradiol (a synthetic estrogen) and desogestrel (a synthetic progestogen). These hormones work together to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the uterine lining, making it less receptive to a fertilized egg.

This tablet is primarily used for contraception, helping women avoid unwanted pregnancies. When taken correctly, Dronis 30 provides a high level of effectiveness in preventing pregnancy, typically around 99%. It also regulates menstrual cycles and can reduce heavy bleeding and period-related discomfort.

Aside from contraception, Dronis 30 is also prescribed for managing acne and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as it helps in regulating hormone levels, reducing excess androgen (male hormone) production, and controlling acne outbreaks in some women. It may also improve other symptoms related to PCOS, like irregular periods.

How to Use Dronis 30mg?

Dronis 30 Tablet are used for the following health issues:

• Contraception
• Irregular periods
• Acne
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

These benefits are achieved by the combined action of its synthetic estrogen (ethinylestradiol) and progestogen (desogestrel). However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before starting Dronis 30 to ensure it is appropriate for individual health needs.

How Dronis 30mg Tablet Works?

Dronis 30 Tablet acts by suppressing the release of gonadotrophic hormones that are responsible for triggering ovulation (release of a mature egg from ovaries) and for a successful implantation of the fertilized egg. They also reduce the thickness of the inner lining of uterus which makes it not suitable for the foetus to implant and grow.

Additionally, they can alter the thickness of the cervical mucus which makes it difficult for the sperm to enter the uterus and fertilize the egg. As a result, they create an unfavourable environment for a successful pregnancy.
