Question

What is the frequency of intake required for Saheli to work?

(a) Twice a month

(b) Once a week

(c) Once a year

(d) Once a month

This question was posed to me during an online exam.

I would like to ask this question from Reproductive Health in portion Reproductive Health of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) Once a week

To explain I would say: The oral contraceptive called Saheli is different from other hormone-releasing oral pills in the sense that it is non-steroidal. This gives it the advantage of having high dosage content, and thus lesser frequency of intake is needed. It can be taken once a week.
