Frequently asked questions

What is Lindynette 30 used for?+
Lindynette 30 is a combined oral contraceptive indicated for reliable prevention of pregnancy and for regulation of the menstrual cycle in women of reproductive age. It helps achieve predictable bleeding patterns and may reduce menstrual discomfort.
How does ethinyloestradiol work in Lindynette 30?+
Ethinylestradiol, the estrogen component, works together with gestodene, a progestogen, to suppress the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑ovarian axis. This reduces luteinizing hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone release, preventing ovulation, while also thickening cervical mucus and altering the endometrium to impede fertilisation and implantation.
What is the usual dose of Lindynette 30?+
The dosing regimen for Lindynette 30 is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, it is taken as a daily tablet according to a specific cycle, but the exact schedule and any missed‑dose instructions must follow the prescriber’s guidance.
Is Lindynette 30 safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
