Frequently asked questions

What is Levesialle Continu used for?+
Levesialle Continu is a combined oral contraceptive indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women of reproductive age. It may also be prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles and to treat acne vulgaris when hormonal control is desired.
How does ethinylestradiol work in this product?+
Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic estrogen that binds to estrogen receptors, providing negative feedback to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. This suppresses the release of follicle‑stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, thereby preventing the ovulatory surge required for egg release.
What is the usual dose of Levesialle Continu?+
The dosing regimen for Levesialle Continu is determined by the prescribing clinician. Typically, the product is taken once daily for a defined cycle, but the exact number of tablets and any hormone‑free interval are set according to the individual’s medical assessment.
Is Levesialle Continu safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Levesialle Continu is classified as pregnancy category X, meaning it is contraindicated in pregnant women because it may harm the fetus. It is also not recommended for breastfeeding mothers, as hormonal exposure can affect milk production and infant development.

How does Levesialle Continu compare with other combined oral contraceptives?+
Levesialle Continu contains the standard dose of ethinylestradiol paired with levonorgestrel, a progestin with a well‑established safety profile.

Store the tablets at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original blister pack or container, protect from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat to maintain potency throughout the shelf life.
How is Levesialle Continu administered?+
Levesialle Continu is taken orally, usually with water, at the same time each day. Patients should follow the prescriber’s schedule, which often involves a series of active tablets followed by a hormone‑free interval, if applicable.
What are the most serious risks associated with Levesialle Continu?+
Serious risks include venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, stroke, myocardial infarction, severe allergic reactions, and liver disorders. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience unexplained leg pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, severe abdominal pain, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Who should not use Levesialle Continu?+
Contraindications include women who are pregnant, have a history of thromboembolic disease, uncontrolled hypertension, active liver disease, known or suspected breast cancer, or who smoke cigarettes and are over 35 years of age. A thorough medical review is required before initiating therapy.
