Frequently asked questions

What is Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol used for?+
Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol is a combined oral contraceptive indicated primarily for the prevention of pregnancy in women of reproductive age. It is also prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles and may improve acne that is related to hormonal fluctuations.
How does Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol work?+
The product combines ethinylestradiol, an estrogen, with levonorgestrel, a progestogen. Ethinylestradiol provides negative feedback to the hypothalamic‑pituitary axis, while levonorgestrel suppresses the luteinising hormone surge. Together they inhibit ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and induce endometrial changes that reduce the likelihood of implantation.
What is the usual dose of Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol?+
The specific dosing regimen is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, the medication is taken as one tablet daily at the same time each day, but the exact strength, duration and any cycle‑specific instructions are set by the prescriber based on individual patient needs.
Is Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol is not intended for use during an established pregnancy and should be discontinued if pregnancy occurs. While limited data exist for breastfeeding, most guidelines advise caution; the benefits and risks should be evaluated by a healthcare provider before use in lactating women.

How does Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol compare with other combined oral contraceptives?+
Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol contains a widely used progestogen (levonorgestrel) and a standard estrogen dose (ethinylestradiol), offering a balance of efficacy and tolerability comparable to other second‑generation combined pills. Compared with newer formulations that use different progestogens, it may have a slightly higher risk of acne but a well‑characterized safety profile.
How should Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol be stored and handled?+
Store the tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original blister pack or bottle. Protect them from excess moisture, direct sunlight and heat. Do not store in the bathroom or near a kitchen sink. Keep out of reach of children.

The medication is taken orally as a tablet. Patients should swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably at the same time each day, and should not skip doses. If a dose is missed, follow the specific guidance provided by the prescriber or the product leaflet.
What are the most serious risks associated with Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol?+
The most serious adverse events include venous thromboembolism (such as deep‑vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism), arterial thrombosis leading to stroke or myocardial infarction, severe hypertension, and hepatic disorders. Prompt medical attention is required if symptoms such as sudden leg pain, chest pain, severe headache, or jaundice develop.
Who should not use Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol?+
Women with a history of thromboembolic disease, estrogen‑dependent tumors (e.g., breast cancer), uncontrolled hypertension, active liver disease, or known hypersensitivity to any component should avoid this product. It is also contraindicated in smokers over 35 years of age and in women who are currently pregnant.
