Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Saheli is the first non-steroidal, once a week pill. It contains centchroman and its functioning is based upon selective Estrogen Receptor modulation.

Answer 2

As a result of sexual activity, contraception is a synthetic technique or another approach primarily designed to avoid or prevent pregnancy. However, nowadays, this scenario needs to be taken into account and limited because of the scarcity of resources and population expansion. the many strategies for getting around the continuity procedure.

 

Let's now choose the best choice from the available ones.

 

Inhibiting egg formation, keeping the egg apart from the sperm, and preventing the fertilized egg from inserting into the uterine lining are all achieved through the use of contraception.

Ormeloxifene is sold under the trade name Saheli.

This medication acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator.

By doing this, the hormone's impact on the uterus is avoided, and it prevents

 the implantation of the eggs.

 

Thus, the correct answer is  option (B) Blocks estrogen receptors in the uterus, preventing eggs from getting implanted.

 

Answer 3

Females use Saheli once a week as oral contraception. It selectively modifies estrogen receptors (SERM). After a three-month first dosage of twice weekly, it is taken once per week. All generic brands of tablets include hormones like progesterone, estrogen, or a combination of the two; Saheli is the only brand that is devoid of these steroids and has no adverse effects. Its actions are estrogenic in some body parts (such as the bones) and antiestrogenic in other body parts (e.g., the uterus, and breasts). While its precise method of action is not fully understood, it induces an asynchrony between ovulation and the formation of the uterine lining during the cycle. It caused ovulation to occur later than usual in clinical studies.

So, Option (B) is correct.
