Ovanac-DSR Tablet

Introduction

Ovanac-DSR is a medication that combines two active ingredients: Dehydroepiandrosterone and Melatonin. It is available in tablet form and is prescribed for various health conditions.

Uses

Ovanac-DSR is commonly used to address conditions such as insomnia, sleep disorders, and certain hormonal imbalances. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced naturally by the body and is involved in various processes, including the regulation of mood, energy levels, and sleep. Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Ovanac-DSR may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and individual patient factors. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. Generally, the recommended dose for adults is one tablet taken orally before bedtime. It is best to take the medication with water, and it can be taken with or without food.

Mechanism of Action

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in Ovanac-DSR is thought to influence various processes in the body, including the regulation of mood, energy levels, and sleep. Melatonin, on the other hand, helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle. Together, these two active ingredients work to promote better sleep and improve overall well-being.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include drowsiness, headache, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or upset stomach. These side effects are generally mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, seek medical attention.
