Ova Plus 100mg Tablet

Introduction

Ova Plus is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient Enclomiphene. It is available in tablet form and is used for various medical conditions.

Uses

Ova Plus is primarily prescribed to treat infertility in women. It is often used in cases where there is a hormonal imbalance affecting ovulation, leading to difficulties in conceiving. By stimulating the release of certain hormones in the body, Ova Plus helps regulate the menstrual cycle and increase the chances of successful ovulation.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Ova Plus may vary depending on individual circumstances and the recommendation of the healthcare provider. Follow the prescribed dosage instructions carefully. Typically, the usual starting dose is one tablet taken orally once a day for a specific duration, as determined by your healthcare provider. It is recommended to take the tablet at the same time each day for better results.

Mechanism of Action

Ova Plus contains Enclomiphene, which is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). It works by binding to certain receptors in the brain and blocking the effects of estrogen. This leads to an increase in the production of hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which are necessary for the development and release of mature eggs from the ovaries. By restoring hormonal balance, Ova Plus helps improve ovulation and increases the chances of successful conception.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include hot flashes, mood swings, breast tenderness, headaches, and nausea. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

In rare cases, Ova Plus may cause serious side effects such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which can cause abdominal pain, swelling, and difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. Certain medications may interact with Ova Plus, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Common drug interactions may include certain anticoagulants, antifungal medications, and medications that affect liver enzymes. Your healthcare provider will be able to provide specific guidance on potential drug interactions.

Precautions

Before taking Ova Plus, discuss your medical history and any existing medical conditions with your healthcare provider. Ova Plus may not be suitable for everyone, particularly individuals with liver disease, abnormal vaginal bleeding, or ovarian cysts. Avoid using this medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as it may harm the developing fetus or pass into breast milk.

Ova Plus may increase the risk of multiple pregnancies (e.g., twins, triplets) and should be used with caution. Your healthcare provider will monitor your response to treatment and adjust the dosage as necessary.

Storage

Ova Plus should be stored at room temperature, away from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Keep the medication out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use Ova Plus if it has expired or if the packaging is damaged.
