Dubfree Plus 10mg Tablet PR

Introduction

Dubfree Plus is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Norethisterone. It is available in tablet form and is commonly known by its generic name.

Uses

Dubfree Plus is primarily prescribed to treat certain gynecological conditions such as abnormal uterine bleeding, endometriosis, and menstrual disorders. It can also be used as a contraceptive in combination with other medications.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Dubfree Plus will vary depending on the specific condition being treated and individual patient factors. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Mechanism of Action

Norethisterone, the active ingredient in Dubfree Plus, belongs to a class of medications known as progestogens. It works by mimicking the effects of the naturally occurring hormone progesterone in the body. Norethisterone helps regulate the menstrual cycle, reduces excessive bleeding, and can suppress the growth of abnormal tissue in conditions like endometriosis.

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, headache, breast tenderness, and changes in menstrual bleeding patterns. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or become bothersome, consult your healthcare provider.

In rare cases, serious side effects may occur. These can include severe abdominal pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache, vision changes, or signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, or swelling. If you experience any of these serious side effects, seek immediate medical attention.

Dubfree Plus may interact with certain medications and substances. Inform your healthcare provider about all the medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking, as well as any known allergies or medical conditions.
