In Uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Prizal Capsule helps control the symptoms associated with uterine fibroids such as excessive menstrual bleeding, lower back pain, and also reduces the size of the existing fibroids. It blocks the action of the enzyme responsible for the growth of the broids. As a result they decrease in size and also stop growing further.

Quick tips

Prizal Capsule is used for the treatment of uterine fibroids and their associated symptoms, such as painful periods, heavy bleeding and pelvic pain.
It considerably reduces or stops your menstrual bleeding within the first 10 days of treatment. Notify your doctor if you continue to have heavy bleeding despite taking Prizal Capsule.
Your periods will usually start again within four weeks of stopping Prizal Capsule.
Use a reliable barrier contraceptive method (such as condoms or a diaphragm) to prevent pregnancy while you are taking Prizal Capsule as it may make hormonal contraceptives (such as pills) less effective.
Your doctor may get routine blood tests done to assess the functioning of your liver. Inform your doctor if you notice yellowing of skin/eye, dark urine, or stomach pain.
