No Gravida Supp 100 ml / 2 g vaginal tablet

Description:

No Gravida Supp 100 ml / 2 g vaginal tablet is a local contraceptive medicine containing the spermicide nonoxynol-9. It is designed for intravaginal use to help prevent pregnancy by immobilizing and destroying sperm before they reach the cervix. This product is used as a barrier-free contraceptive option and may also be used in conjunction with other contraceptive methods such as condoms, cervical caps, or diaphragms for enhanced protection. It is intended for adult women seeking temporary, on-demand contraception without systemic hormonal exposure.

Indications:

• Intravaginal contraception for the prevention of pregnancy.
• On-demand contraceptive method for women who prefer or require a non-hormonal option.
• May be used as an adjunct to barrier methods (e.g., condoms, cervical caps, diaphragms) to increase contraceptive effectiveness.
• Suitable for women seeking local contraceptive action without systemic absorption of hormones.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Nonoxynol-9 – concentration per vaginal suppository/tablet is not specified in the available product information. It is a nonionic surfactant spermicide.
• Other excipients: Not specified in the available data. Typical vaginal suppository bases may include fatty or water-soluble carriers, but exact composition is unavailable.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Route of administration: Intravaginal only. Do not swallow.
• Recommended dose: One No Gravida vaginal tablet/suppository inserted deep into the vagina before each act of intercourse. Exact timing (e.g., minutes before intercourse) is not specified in the available data; follow the instructions on the package leaflet or your doctor’s advice.
• Each act of intercourse requires a new vaginal tablet/suppository, even if it occurs within a short time of the previous one.
• Wash hands thoroughly before and after insertion.
• While lying on your back with knees bent or in a comfortable position, gently insert the vaginal tablet/suppository high into the vagina using a finger.
• Do not rinse or douche the vagina immediately after use, as this may reduce contraceptive effectiveness.
• Use consistently and correctly with every intercourse for optimal contraceptive protection.
• If used with condoms, diaphragms, or cervical caps, follow the specific instructions for those devices in addition to using No Gravida as directed.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides local, non-hormonal contraception by directly immobilizing and destroying sperm in the vagina.
• Offers on-demand contraceptive protection, used only at the time of intercourse.
• Can be combined with barrier methods (condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps) to enhance contraceptive reliability.
• Avoids systemic hormonal side effects associated with oral or injectable contraceptives.
• Suitable for women who cannot or prefer not to use hormonal contraception, under medical guidance.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• For vaginal use only. Do not ingest.
• Not a substitute for condoms in the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS. Nonoxynol-9 does not provide reliable protection against STIs.
• Frequent use (multiple times per day) of nonoxynol-9 products may cause vaginal irritation, which may increase the risk of STI transmission, including HIV, especially in women at high risk of STIs.
• Do not use if you are allergic or hypersensitive to nonoxynol-9 or any component of the formulation.
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor if you experience persistent burning, itching, pain, unusual discharge, or irritation.
• Use with caution in women with active vaginal infections, lesions, or inflammatory conditions; consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Not recommended as the sole contraceptive method for women at high risk of HIV or other STIs.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions affecting the genital tract.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging. Do not use if the packaging is damaged or tablets/suppositories appear deformed.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include mild, transient vaginal burning, itching, or irritation.
• Less common side effects may include vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse, or increased vaginal discharge.
• Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, severe itching, difficulty breathing) are rare but require immediate medical attention and discontinuation of use.
