Frequently asked questions

What is Levoethin Stada used for?+
Levoethin Stada is a combined oral contraceptive indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women of reproductive age. It is also prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles and may improve mild to moderate hormonal acne.
How does Ethinylestradiol / Levonorgestrel work?+
The two hormones act together on the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑ovarian axis. Ethinylestradiol suppresses follicle‑stimulating hormone, while levonorgestrel blocks the luteinizing hormone surge, preventing ovulation. Levonorgestrel also thickens cervical mucus and alters the endometrium, creating conditions unfavorable for implantation.
What is the usual dose of Levoethin Stada?+
The specific dosing regimen for Levoethin Stada is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the product’s labeling and the patient’s individual needs. Typically, a combined oral contraceptive is taken once daily for a defined cycle, but the exact schedule should be confirmed with a healthcare professional.
Is Levoethin Stada safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Levoethin Stada 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 for breastfeeding women, as hormonal exposure may affect milk production and infant health.
