Hi,
Dulcolax L is a combination of two drugs,
levonorgestrel and
ethinyl estradiol, commonly used as a
contraceptive pill to prevent pregnancy. In your case, it is being prescribed to control
endometriosis and regulate menstrual cycles.
Long-term use of Duoluton L tablets can have side effects, including:
* Increased risk of blood clots and strokes: The estrogen component in the pill can increase the risk of blood clots and strokes in some women, especially those who smoke, have obesity, or a history of blood clotting.
* Nausea and vomiting: Some women may experience nausea and vomiting when taking the pill.
* Changes in menstrual cycle: The pill can cause changes in the menstrual cycle, including lighter or heavier bleeding or missed periods.
* Mood changes: Some women may experience mood changes, such as depression or anxiety, when taking the pill.
* Breast tenderness: The pill may cause breast tenderness or enlargement.
It is important to discuss any concerns about the long-term use of Duoluton L tablets with your doctor. They may recommend
alternative treatments or a different dosage to minimize the risk of side effects.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
