Frequently asked questions

What is Indivina used for?+
Indivina is a combined estrogen‑progestogen oral tablet indicated for reliable contraception and for regulating menstrual cycles in women of reproductive age. It helps prevent pregnancy and can provide more predictable bleeding patterns.
How does medroxyprogesterone acetate work in Indivina?+
Medroxyprogesterone acetate acts as a progestogen that suppresses the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑ovarian axis, reducing luteinizing hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone release. This inhibition prevents ovulation, while estradiol valerate adds estrogenic feedback that stabilises the endometrium.
What is the usual dose of Indivina?+
The dosing regimen for Indivina is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, it is taken as a daily oral tablet according to the prescriber’s instructions, but exact strength and schedule are set on an individual basis.
Is Indivina safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Indivina is contraindicated during pregnancy because it is designed to prevent conception. Its safety during breastfeeding has not been definitively established; clinicians usually advise caution and assess risks versus benefits before prescribing to nursing mothers.

Indivina is taken orally, usually once daily at the same time each day. The tablet is swallowed whole with water and should be started according to the prescriber’s schedule, often on the first day of the menstrual cycle.
What are the most serious risks associated with Indivina?+
The most serious risks include venous or arterial thromboembolism, severe hypertension, liver disorders, and rare allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis.

Who should not use Indivina?+
Indivina should not be used by women with a history of thromboembolic disease, uncontrolled hypertension, active liver disease, estrogen‑dependent tumors, or who are known to be pregnant. Smoking women over 35 years of age are also advised against using combined oral contraceptives.
