CARPELA TAB

CARPELA TABLET is an oral hormonal combination, containing Ethinylestradiol and Cyproterone used to treat symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) such as acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and irregular periods. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common condition, which affects how women’s ovaries work.

CARPELA TABLET is a combination of two hormonal medications, ethinylestradiol, and cyproterone used to treat PCOS symptoms such as acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), and irregular periods. Cyproterone, works by blocking a male hormone named androgen overproduction in the ovaries and reducing unwanted facial hair growth and acne. Ethinylestradiol, on the other hand, acts as an enhancer. It enhances the effect of cyproterone by reducing the amount of androgens in the blood. Collectively, they both effectively treat the symptoms of PCOS.

CARPELA TABLET can be taken with or without food in dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. For best results of CARPELA TABLET, take it at the same time every day. Also, do not stop taking CARPELA TABLET before completing its full course, even if you feel your symptoms are better. The most common side effects of CARPELA TABLET include weight gain, nausea, tender breast, stomach pain, headache. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. If you see swelling or pain in your limbs, chest pain, or shortness of breath, please inform your doctor.
