Ormeloxifene, also known as centchroman, is one of the selective estrogen receptor modulators,[2] or SERMs, a class of medication which acts on the estrogen receptor. It is best known as a nonsteroidal oral contraceptive which is taken once per week. In India, ormeloxifene has been available as birth control since the early 1990s, and it was marketed there under the trade name Saheli,[3] currently available free-of-cost for the women in India as Chhaya (Centchroman).[4][5]
Ormeloxifene has also been licensed under the trade names Ormalin, Novex-DS, Centron, and Sevista.
