Frequently Asked Questions
A Little More About Saheli
Saheli acts on the uterus lining and makes it less suitable for implantation of the embryo, thus effectively preventing pregnancy.
Because of the way Saheli acts, it is common to get delayed and lighter periods. If you have not missed your tablets, there is no cause for worry. Do a pregnancy test only if your periods are delayed by more than 15 days from the usual dates. Understand that lighter periods are not harmful. Because you lose less blood with Saheli, you lose less haemoglobin and iron stores from your body. Thus, you are less likely to suffer from anaemia.
Saheli is absorbed after being taken orally. Like any oral medication, Saheli might not work well when you have diarrhoea and vomiting. You will have to continue using Saheli. In addition to it, also use condoms for added protection till your next period.
Missing a pill can cause pregnancy. If it is less than two days after missing the pill, take Saheli immediately and also continue with the next dose as previously due. If it is more than two days, continue taking the Saheli pill as planned, but use additional contraception viz. condoms till your next period. If it is more than one week of forgetting the pill, it is necessary to start from the beginning - take a tablet on the first day of your next period, twice a week for three months and then once a week. You have to use condoms till your next period.
