Major Interactions (Avoid): - Potent enzyme inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin): markedly reduce plasma levels of both hormones, risking contraceptive failure. - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): combined use may increase bleeding risk and require closer coagulation monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lamuna 30 used for?+
Lamuna 30 is a combined oral contraceptive indicated for the prevention of unintended pregnancy in women of reproductive age. It may also be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles and to reduce menstrual pain associated with primary dysmenorrhea.
How does desogestrel/ethinylestradiol work?+
Desogestrel (a progestogen) and ethinylestradiol (an estrogen) work together to suppress the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑gonadal axis, preventing the luteinising hormone surge that triggers ovulation. They also thicken cervical mucus and alter the endometrium, creating conditions that are unfavorable for sperm penetration and implantation.
What is the usual dose of Lamuna 30?+
The dosing regimen for Lamuna 30 is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, the product is taken as one tablet daily at the same time each day, but the exact schedule and duration should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Lamuna 30 safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Lamuna 30 is not intended for use during pregnancy and should be discontinued if pregnancy occurs.
