Description

Omatril 5mg is a hormonal medicine manufactured by OBS Pakistan, formulated with Lynestrenol as its active ingredient. It belongs to a class of medicines known as progestogens, working in a manner similar to the natural hormone progesterone. This pack contains 30 tablets, each carrying a 5mg dose. Omatril is commonly used for regulating menstrual disorders caused by progesterone deficiency, and it also functions as an oral contraceptive for preventing pregnancy, offering women a versatile option for both hormonal regulation and family planning under medical guidance.

Ingredients

Each Omatril tablet contains Lynestrenol at a strength of 5mg. Lynestrenol is a synthetic progestogen that mimics the action of the body’s natural progesterone hormone. Its contraceptive effect is primarily achieved by increasing the viscosity of cervical mucus, which reduces sperm penetration, along with decreasing the receptivity of the uterine lining and disrupting transport through the fallopian tubes. This combined action helps prevent pregnancy while also supporting hormonal balance for managing menstrual irregularities. The tablet also contains standard inactive excipients used for formulation and stability.

Dosage Form

Omatril is available as an oral tablet, supplied in a pack of 30 tablets. It is generally taken once daily as part of a structured cycle, based on the specific condition being treated and the physician’s guidance.

Uses

Omatril is primarily used for the treatment of menstrual disorders caused by progesterone deficiency, including irregular periods, heavy menstrual bleeding, and dysmenorrhea. It also serves as an oral contraceptive for preventing pregnancy, and may be used in managing conditions such as endometriosis and certain hormone replacement needs in women with low estrogen levels. By regulating hormonal balance, Omatril helps restore more predictable menstrual cycles and supports overall reproductive health.

How to Use

Omatril tablets should be taken by mouth with food, as directed by a physician, generally one tablet daily from the fourteenth to the twenty-fifth day of the menstrual cycle when used for menstrual disorders. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and should not be crushed, chewed, or split. It’s important to take the medicine consistently and at the same time each day to gain the most benefit. The dosage should not be increased or taken more frequently than prescribed by the doctor.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Omatril may include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, or mild weight changes. Some patients may also experience mood changes or fluid retention. Because it is a hormonal medicine, caution is advised in individuals with conditions that may worsen with fluid retention. Severe abdominal pain or signs of blood clots, such as leg swelling or chest pain, should be treated as urgent and reported to a doctor immediately.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Omatril should not be taken without a doctor’s approval if you are pregnant, as it is not intended for use during an existing pregnancy. Breastfeeding mothers should also consult their doctor before using this medicine, since hormonal medications can potentially affect milk production and composition. Smoking should be avoided while taking this medicine, as it can increase certain health risks.

Storage Instructions

Store Omatril tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready for use to protect them from environmental exposure. Store the medicine out of reach of children, and do not flush unused tablets down the toilet; dispose of them properly as advised by a pharmacist.
