Saheli contraceptive pill
HLL Lifecare Limited

Saheli/Chhaya – the only non-hormonal birth control pill

Is Saheli (also known as Chhaya) the answer for young women who would like to take the pill but have trouble with side effects? Unless you live in India, you might not even have heard of this weekly birth control pill.

Since 1992, Hindustan Latex Limited has been selling Saheli to women all across India. Saheli is different from other birth control pills because it doesn’t contain any hormones. Instead of using the hormone estrogen to prevent pregnancy, it contains a drug that blocks estrogen.

Usually, increased doses of estrogen stop a woman’s ovaries from releasing an egg. However, by blocking estrogen in the uterus, Saheli alters the uterus’ lining, which prevents a fertilised egg from implanting.

No side effects

Blocking estrogen in the uterus comes with added benefits – it has no nasty hormonal side effects. Women who take Saheli don’t experience nausea, headaches, or changes in weight. They also find their periods are lighter.

Effective

Saheli 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.

Bi-weekly to weekly dose

You’ve got to take Saheli twice a week for the first three months. But after that you take just one pill a week.

What this means practically is that if your period starts on Monday, you take the pill every Monday and Thursday for the first three months. Starting on the fourth month, you only take it once a week every Monday.

All the benefits minus the side effects

Not surprisingly, Saheli is advertised as comparable to the pill with all the effectiveness of hormonal birth control minus its nasty side effects. With all these benefits, one has to wonder why it's only available in India.

Did you find this useful?

Sorry bete hum kisi bhi dawa ka naam nahi bata sakte lekin kyun? Yeh toh aap jaantey hee hain na ki yeh bahut hee dangerous aur iske kai side effects ho skate hain. Aur saath hee is par ek baar yadi nirbahr ho gaye , so iske bina kar nahin payenge. Jab koi beemari ya kami ho toh baat bhi hai – wo bhi doctr ki salaah se varna nahin. Sex mein aur apne partne rmein ruche badhaiye aur sex ko enjoy kijiye, safe rahiye.

Hello maám. I have been using Novelon contraceptive pills for last 3 years. Now I wish to switch to Saheli for contraception. Please guide for the method and process. Thanks
Right. So as you may know Saheli is a different pill from the usual OCP - so you may need to meet a doctor or a clinic to understand the difference and also perhaps to do just a basic routine check up before you change your Pill. is that Ok? Can you wait till the end of the lock down?
