Frequently asked questions

What is Madonella used for?+
Madonella is a combined oral contraceptive indicated for the prevention of pregnancy. It is also prescribed to help regulate menstrual cycles and may be used to improve acne related to androgen excess in women of reproductive age.
How does ethinylestradiol work in Madonella?+
Ethinylestradiol provides estrogenic activity that stabilises the endometrium and works with levonorgestrel to suppress the mid‑cycle luteinising hormone surge. This inhibition prevents ovulation, while the estrogen component also contributes to thickening cervical mucus and altering the uterine lining.
What is the usual dose of Madonella?+
The dosing regimen for Madonella is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, the product is taken as one tablet daily at the same time each day, but the exact schedule and duration should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Madonella safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Madonella is not intended for use during pregnancy and should be discontinued if pregnancy is confirmed. While limited data exist for breastfeeding, the decision to use hormonal contraceptives while nursing should be made in consultation with a physician.

What are the most serious risks associated with Madonella?+
The most serious risks include venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, stroke, myocardial infarction, severe allergic reactions and, rarely, hepatic adenomas. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms such as unexplained leg pain, shortness of breath, chest pain, severe headache or signs of an allergic reaction.
Who should not use Madonella?+
Madonella is contraindicated in women with a history of thromboembolic disorders, known or suspected estrogen‑dependent tumors, active liver disease, uncontrolled hypertension, smoking women over 35, and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding without medical advice.
