Frequently asked questions

What is Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Biogarancontinu used for?+
Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Biogarancontinu is a combined oral contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy in women of reproductive age by inhibiting ovulation and creating an environment that is unfavorable for fertilisation and implantation.
How does the combination of ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel work?+
Ethinylestradiol provides synthetic estrogen activity while levonorgestrel supplies progestogenic effects. Together they suppress the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑ovarian axis, preventing the luteinising hormone surge needed for ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and alter the endometrium to reduce the chance of implantation.
What is the usual dose of Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol?+
The specific dosing regimen, including tablet strength and schedule, is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the product formulation and the individual patient's medical profile. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.
