hi
thanks for using healthcare magic
Utovlan helps regulate the healthy growth and normal shedding of the womb lining, it may be used in the treatment of menstrual disorders. It may also be used to postpone the onset of menstruation for special circumstances. Weight gain is one of its side effect. It could be due to increase body fat or fluid retention. after stopping it, u have to do daily exercise to burn extra fat or extra fluid will come out with time.
