Frequently asked questions

What is Lindynette 20 used for?+
Lindynette 20 is a combined oral contraceptive indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women of reproductive age. It may also be prescribed to manage dysmenorrhea and to help regulate menstrual cycles when used under medical supervision.
How does ethynylestradiol work in Lindynette 20?+
Ethinylestradiol, together with gestodene, suppresses the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑ovarian axis, inhibiting the release of luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH). This prevents ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, and alters the endometrium, creating conditions that block fertilisation and implantation.
What is the usual dose of Lindynette 20?+
The dosing regimen for Lindynette 20 is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, the product is taken once daily as part of a cyclic regimen, but the exact schedule and duration should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Lindynette 20 safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Lindynette 20 should not be used during pregnancy; it is discontinued if pregnancy is confirmed. While limited data exist for breastfeeding, the decision to use hormonal contraception while nursing should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider, weighing potential benefits and risks.
