Saheli tablet is a Non sterioidal oral contraceptive pill.
Saheli tablet is nearly as effective as the normal birth control pill. If it’s taken consistently, fewer than 2 in 100 women get pregnant within the first year, compared to fewer than 1 in 100 women with hormonal pills.
By comparison, your chances of getting pregnant without using any birth control method is 85 in 100.
