Description

Saheli Tablets contain Centchroman, a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that acts as a non-steroidal contraceptive. Unlike traditional hormonal contraceptives, Saheli works by:

Inhibiting implantation of fertilized eggs in the uterus

Altering the endometrial lining to prevent pregnancy

Modulating estrogen receptor activity selectively

Saheli is widely used in India for postpartum contraception and long-term family planning. Its weekly dosing improves adherence and reduces the risk of missed doses compared to daily oral contraceptives.

Start Saheli tablets as advised by your healthcare provider.

Take one tablet once a week, preferably on the same day each week.

Swallow the tablet whole with water; it can be taken with or without food.
