Lydia FEM 3 Contraceptive Injection
Lydia Fem3 Contraceptive Injection is a type of hormonal birth control administered via injection to prevent pregnancy. It contains Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (120mg/ml) and Estradiol Cypionate (10mg/ml), which work by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and altering the uterine lining to reduce the chances of implantation.
The injection is typically administered every 3 months, hence the name Fem-3. When administered on schedule, Fem-3 is highly effective and offers a reliable alternative for women who prefer not to take daily oral contraceptives.
