Hello,
Ralovera is a progesterone preparation made from natural derivative of progesterone. It works in a similar way to progesterone. It is used in treating endometriosis, secondary amenorrhoea, abnormal bleeding from the uterus and sometimes treating symptoms of menopause. It cannot be used as a birth control pill. You should discuss your doubts with your gynecologist and get your doubts clarified. I do hope it helps. Do write to me again.
Take care and regards!

Thank you for this information. I was unaware of the uses for Ralovera. It will have been prescribed for the abnormal bleeding I was experiencing.

Thanks and regards
