Introduction
Sucee Tablet is a combination of two hormonal medicines used to treat symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) such as excessive hair growth (hirsutism), acne, and irregular periods. It also works as a contraceptive, hence avoid using any other contraceptive pill.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Sucee Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Sucee Tablet is a combination of two hormonal medicines: Cyproterone and Ethinyl Estradiol which treats PCOS symptoms such as acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism) and irregular periods. Cyproterone works by blocking the overproduction of androgens (male hormones) in the ovaries, thereby reducing unwanted hair growth and acne. Ethinyl Estradiol enhances the effect of Cyproterone by reducing the amount of androgens in the blood. Together, they also regularize the menstrual cycle in PCOS.
Quick Tips
Take your pill at the same time every day to help you remember to take it. Do not use Sucee Tablet if you are obese, over 50, smoke, on prolonged bed rest or have a history of blood clots. Stop taking it and inform your doctor if you notice unexplained swelling and pain in your limbs, shortness of breath, chest pain or changes in vision. You may experience vaginal spotting (blood stain) or breakthrough bleeding while taking Sucee Tablet. This is temporary, inform your doctor if it lasts longer. If your period fails to come within a week after completing your course, do not start the next course before consulting your doctor. It works as a contraceptive. So, do not use any additional hormonal contraceptives when using this medicine.
