How Famycept Tablet works
It is combined with Desogestrel to form an oral contraceptive that works by preventing ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary. It also affects the movement of sperm, making it harder for them to reach the egg, thereby reducing the chance of fertilization. Additionally, this contraceptive alters the uterine lining, making it less receptive to a fertilized egg. These combined actions help to prevent pregnancy by targeting multiple stages of the reproductive process.
