Frequently asked questions

What is Leeloo Continu used for?+
Leeloo Continu is a combined oral contraceptive tablet containing ethynylestradiol and levonorgestrel. It is prescribed to prevent unintended pregnancy and to help regulate menstrual bleeding patterns in women of reproductive age.

What is the usual dose of Leeloo Continu?+
The dosing regimen for Leeloo Continu is determined by the prescribing clinician. Typically, it is taken once daily at the same time for a 21‑day active phase followed by a hormone‑free interval, but exact instructions must come from a qualified health professional.
Is Leeloo Continu safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Leeloo Continu is classified as pregnancy category X, meaning it must not be used during pregnancy because it can cause fetal harm. It is also not recommended while breastfeeding unless the benefits outweigh the risks, and a healthcare provider should be consulted.
