Frequently asked questions

What is Jadiza used for?+
Jadiza is a combined estrogen‑progestogen oral contraceptive indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women of reproductive age. It is prescribed as a reversible, hormone‑based method of birth control and may also help regulate menstrual bleeding patterns.
How does Ethinylestradiol/Levonorgestrel work?+
Ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel act together to suppress the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑ovarian axis, lowering luteinizing hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone release. This prevents ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, and creates endometrial changes that are hostile to implantation, thereby averting pregnancy.
What is the usual dose of Jadiza?+
The specific dosing regimen for Jadiza is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the product’s labeling and the patient’s individual health profile. Healthcare providers select the appropriate tablet strength, schedule, and duration in accordance with approved prescribing information.
Is Jadiza safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Jadiza is classified as pregnancy category X, meaning it is contraindicated during pregnancy because it can harm the fetus. Use while breastfeeding is generally not recommended without medical guidance, as hormonal exposure may affect milk production and infant health.

What are the most serious risks associated with Jadiza?+
