Frequently asked questions

What is Maexeni 30 used for?+
Maexeni 30 is a combined oral contraceptive tablet containing ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. It is prescribed to prevent pregnancy in women of reproductive age and may also help regulate menstrual cycles and improve acne associated with androgen excess.
How does ethinylestradiol work in Maexeni 30?+
Ethinylestradiol, the estrogen component, works together with levonorgestrel to suppress the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑gonadal axis, reducing LH and FSH release. This prevents ovulation, stabilises the endometrium, and, together with the progestogen, creates cervical mucus that is hostile to sperm.
What is the usual dose of Maexeni 30?+
The dosing regimen for Maexeni 30 is determined by the prescribing clinician. Typically, it is taken as a daily oral tablet following the specific cycle schedule indicated on the prescription label.
Is Maexeni 30 safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Maexeni 30 is contraindicated during pregnancy because it is intended to prevent conception. If pregnancy occurs, the tablet should be discontinued.
