Hello
Thanks for your query.
Deviry is NOT a contraceptive pill.
Deviry contains only progesterone.
It is frequently prescribed to women with PCOD to help them conceive naturally.
It corrects the associated hormonal imbalance inherent in women with PCOD.
When taken cyclically, it causes withdrawal bleeding , and corrects the menstrual irregularities.
If you wish for a contraceptive effect then opt for a different preparation.
Take care.
