Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing.
I am a little surprised at the fact that your symptoms still continue after stopping the drug.
The drug novelon contains hormones which has short span in body. That means the drug is out of your body in 24-48 hours.
The reason for breathlessness can be other reasons like anemia or hypothyroidism.
Please consult your physician for blood tests like hemoglobin , liver function tests, thyroid profile.
You can take multivitamin like A to Z gold tablets.
Please write back if you have any questions.
Thanks
