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.

Can taking paracetamol help with a stomachache? I'm not sure if it's safe or effective for this kind of pain. What do you think?

Paracetamol is not typically recommended for stomach aches, as it's primarily used to relieve headaches, fever, and body aches; instead, consider over-the-counter antacids or acid reducers like ranitidine or omeprazole, but if your stomach ache persists or worsens, consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
