[jemmy]

I am working in a MNC from last 2 years. Few days ago I am get married. Both of us have decided to avoid children at this time of life as we are not prepared for that. I want to mention here that my wife is working in a software firm. When we consulted a Doctor he prescribed her to take Desogen. Could anyone tell me what are the side effects of desogen. I will appreciate any information regarding this.
