Frequently asked questions

What is Liladros used for?+
Liladros is a combined oral contraceptive indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women of reproductive age. It works by inhibiting ovulation and altering cervical mucus, providing reliable birth control when taken as prescribed.
How does Drospirenone/Ethinylestradiol work?+
Drospirenone provides progestogenic activity with anti‑mineralocorticoid and anti‑androgenic effects, while ethinylestradiol supplies estrogenic activity. Together they suppress the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH), preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and creating an endometrial environment that reduces the chance of implantation.
What is the usual dose of Liladros?+
The dosing regimen for Liladros is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, the product is taken once daily for a defined cycle, but the exact schedule, including any placebo days, must follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.
Is Liladros safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Liladros is contraindicated in pregnancy (Category X) and should not be used by women who are pregnant. Use during breastfeeding is generally not recommended unless the benefits outweigh the risks; clinicians should discuss individual circumstances with the patient.
How do I order Liladros from GNH USA?+
To order Liladros, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com with the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams across international markets, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Liladros compare with other combined oral contraceptives?+
Liladros contains drospirenone, a progestin with anti‑mineralocorticoid properties that may reduce water retention compared with some other progestins. Its efficacy in preventing pregnancy is comparable to other combined oral contraceptives, while its side‑effect profile may differ slightly, especially regarding weight and blood‑pressure effects.
How should Liladros be stored and handled?+
Liladros tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect them from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use after the expiration date printed on the label.
How is Liladros administered?+
Liladros is taken orally as a tablet, usually at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food, but consistent daily timing helps maintain steady hormone levels and maximizes contraceptive effectiveness.
What are the most serious risks to watch for while using Liladros?+
Serious risks include venous thromboembolism, arterial thrombosis, hypertension, severe liver disorders, and rare allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms like unexplained leg pain, chest pain, severe headache, visual changes, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Who should not use Liladros?+
Liladros should not be used by women who are pregnant, have a history of thromboembolic disorders, smoke heavily and are over 35 years old, have uncontrolled hypertension, severe liver disease, known hypersensitivity to any component, or who are breastfeeding without medical guidance.
