Limetic (Desogestrel)

Desogestrel binds to progesterone receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary, suppressing the luteinizing hormone surge that triggers ovulation. It also thickens cervical mucus, making it hostile to sperm, and modifies the endometrial lining, reducing the chance of implantation. These actions together provide reliable contraceptive protection.

The specific dosage regimen for Limetic is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the product’s labeling and the patient’s individual needs. Typically, desogestrel‑containing progestin‑only pills are taken once daily at the same time, but the exact dose and schedule should be confirmed by the prescriber.

Limetic is intended for use as a contraceptive and should not be started during pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs, the product should be discontinued. Limited data are available on use while breastfeeding; healthcare providers usually assess the risk‑benefit ratio before prescribing to nursing mothers.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Limetic product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Compared with combined oral contraceptives that contain estrogen and progestin, Limetic provides a progestin‑only option, which may be preferable for women who cannot tolerate estrogen. Its efficacy is similar when taken correctly, and it avoids estrogen‑related side effects such as increased clotting risk, though it shares many progestin‑related adverse effects.

Limetic tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original container to protect them from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged or the tablets appear discolored.

Limetic is taken orally, usually as a single tablet each day at the same time, without regard to meals. Consistent daily intake is important to maintain contraceptive effectiveness. If a dose is missed, follow the product’s missed‑dose instructions or consult a healthcare professional.

The most serious risks include thromboembolic events such as deep‑vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), and liver dysfunction. Women with a history of clotting disorders, hormone‑sensitive cancers, or severe liver disease should discuss these risks with their prescriber before using Limetic.

Limetic is contraindicated in women with known or suspected pregnancy, active thromboembolic disease, severe liver impairment, hormone‑dependent tumors, or those who are breastfeeding and wish to avoid medication exposure. Additionally, women who are smokers over 35 years of age should consider alternative contraceptive methods due to increased cardiovascular risk.
