Frequently asked questions

What is Modolew used for?+
Modolew is a combined oral contraceptive indicated for the prevention of pregnancy and for the regulation of menstrual cycles in women of reproductive age. It helps achieve predictable bleeding patterns and reduces cycle irregularities.
How does drospirenone/ethinylestradiol work?+
Drospirenone acts as a progestogen with anti‑mineralocorticoid and anti‑androgenic properties, while ethinylestradiol provides estrogenic activity. Together they suppress gonadotropin release, preventing the LH surge and ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and alter the endometrium to inhibit fertilisation and implantation.
What is the usual dose of Modolew?+
The dosing regimen for Modolew is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, the medication is taken as one tablet daily, but the exact schedule, including any missed‑dose instructions, should follow the prescriber’s guidance.
Is Modolew safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Modolew is not intended for use during pregnancy and should be discontinued if pregnancy occurs. While limited data exist for breastfeeding, most guidelines advise caution and recommend discussing alternative contraception with a healthcare provider.

How does Modolew compare with other combined oral contraceptives?+
Modolew contains drospirenone, which offers anti‑mineralocorticoid and anti‑androgenic effects that may reduce water retention and improve acne compared with some other progestins. Its efficacy in preventing pregnancy is comparable to other combined oral contraceptives, while the side‑effect profile may differ slightly.
How should Modolew be stored and handled?+
Store Modolew tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original blister pack, protect from moisture and direct light, and keep out of reach of children.

What are the most serious risks associated with Modolew?+

Who should not use Modolew?+
Women with a history of thromboembolic disorders, uncontrolled hypertension, active liver disease, known or suspected breast cancer, or who are pregnant should avoid Modolew. Smoking heavily over the age of 35 also contraindicates its use.
