Frequently asked questions

What is Liberelle used for?+
Liberelle is a combined oral contraceptive containing ethinylestradiol and norgestimate. It is prescribed to prevent unintended pregnancy in women of reproductive age by inhibiting ovulation and creating cervical mucus changes that reduce fertilisation.
How does ethinylestradiol work in Liberelle?+
Ethinylestradiol, the estrogen component, suppresses the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑gonadal axis, preventing the luteinizing hormone surge needed for ovulation. It also stabilises the endometrium, contributing to the contraceptive effect.
What is the usual dose of Liberelle?+
The dosing regimen for Liberelle is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, it is taken as a daily oral tablet according to the prescribed cycle, but the exact schedule should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Liberelle safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Liberelle is classified as pregnancy category X, meaning it must not be used during pregnancy because it can harm the fetus. It is also not recommended while breastfeeding, as hormones may pass into breast milk and affect the infant.
How do I order Liberelle from GNH USA?+
To order Liberelle, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and necessary import documentation.
How does Liberelle compare with other combined oral contraceptives?+
Liberelle contains ethinylestradiol and norgestimate, a progestogen with a favorable bleeding profile and lower androgenic activity compared with some older progestins. This may result in fewer acne‑related side effects and more predictable withdrawal bleeding, while offering similar contraceptive efficacy.
How should Liberelle be stored and handled?+
Liberelle tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C. Keep them in the original blister pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children.

What are the most serious risks associated with Liberelle?+
Serious risks include venous thromboembolism, arterial thrombosis (stroke or myocardial infarction), hypertension, and severe liver disease. Women with a history of clotting disorders, smoking over age 35, or certain cardiovascular conditions should avoid this medication.
Who should not use Liberelle?+
Liberelle is contraindicated in women who are pregnant, have a history of thromboembolic events, uncontrolled hypertension, active liver disease, known or suspected breast cancer, or migraine with aura. It should also be avoided by smokers over 35 years of age.
