Frequently asked questions

What is Levesialle Continu used for?+
Levesialle Continu is a combined oral contraceptive tablet containing ethinyloestradiol and levonorgestrel. It is prescribed to prevent pregnancy in women of reproductive age and may also be used to regulate menstrual cycles, manage acne, and alleviate certain gynecological symptoms.
How does ethinyloestradiol work in this product?+
Ethinyloestradiol acts as an estrogen component that binds to estrogen receptors, helping to suppress the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone. This suppression, together with the progestogenic action of levonorgestrel, prevents ovulation and creates cervical mucus and endometrial changes that hinder fertilisation and implantation.
What is the usual dose of Levesialle Continu?+
The dosing regimen for Levesialle Continu is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, combined oral contraceptives are taken once daily for a specified cycle, but the exact schedule, tablet strength, and duration should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Levesialle Continu safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Levesialle Continu is contraindicated during pregnancy; it should be stopped immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. While limited data exist for breastfeeding, the decision to use hormonal contraception while nursing should be made by a healthcare provider, weighing potential benefits and risks.
