Abstract: We present a direct computation of the period integrals on degenerate Seiberg-Witten curves for supersymmetric QCD, and show how these periods determine the changes in the quantum numbers of the states, when passing from the weak to the strong-coupling domains in the mass moduli space of the theory. The confinement of monopoles at strong coupling is discussed, and we demonstrate that the ambiguities in choosing the way in the moduli space do not influence to the physical conclusions on confinement of monopoles in the phase with the condensed light dyons.
