Frequently asked questions

What is Levonille used for?+
Levonille is a combined oral contraceptive tablet indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women of reproductive age. By delivering both estrogen and progestogen, it provides reliable hormonal birth control when taken as prescribed.
How does Ethinylestradiol and Levonorgestrel work?+
Ethinylestradiol and Levonorgestrel act on estrogen and progesterone receptors to suppress the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑gonadal axis, preventing the mid‑cycle luteinizing hormone surge and thus ovulation. The progestogen also thickens cervical mucus and the estrogen stabilises the endometrium, reducing the chance of implantation.
What is the usual dose of Levonille?+
The specific dosing regimen for Levonille is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, a combined oral contraceptive is taken once daily at the same time each day, but the exact schedule should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Levonille safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Levonille is contraindicated during pregnancy because it is intended to prevent conception. If pregnancy occurs, the product should be discontinued. While limited data exist for breastfeeding, clinicians usually weigh the benefits against potential risks and may advise alternative contraception.

Levonille is taken orally as a tablet, usually once each day at the same time, with or without food. Consistent daily intake maintains hormone levels and maximises contraceptive effectiveness.
