I'm currently in Ahmedabad and I'm having trouble finding Grenil tablets here. Can you recommend an alternative tablet that I might be able to find in my area? I'm a bit worried about not being able to get it.

You can try using Diane-35 as an alternative to Grenil, as both contain similar hormonal components. It's commonly available and can be prescribed by a doctor to suit your needs. However, it's important to consult a healthcare professional before switching.

View allI'm feeling pretty worried because I have a sore throat and just noticed some red bumps at the back of my mouth. I've had a sore throat plenty of times, but I never checked inside my mouth before, so Im not sure if these bumps are normal. Ive also got a cough and a bit of a stuffy nose. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about?
