Frequently asked questions

What is Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Eugia used for?+
Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Eugia is a combined oral contraceptive tablet prescribed to prevent pregnancy in women of reproductive age. It works by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the uterine lining to reduce the chance of implantation.
How does Ethinylestradiol/Levonorgestrel work?+
The estrogen component (ethinylestradiol) and the progestogen component (levonorgestrel) together suppress the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑ovarian axis, preventing the luteinizing hormone surge needed for ovulation.

What is the usual dose of Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Eugia?+
The dosing regimen is set by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the product’s strength and the patient’s clinical needs. Typically, one tablet is taken orally each day at the same time, but the exact schedule and duration are determined by the prescriber.
