Frequently asked questions

What is Myloop used for?+
Myloop is a vaginal contraceptive ring that delivers a combination of ethinyloestradiol and etonogestrel to provide reliable hormonal birth control. It is prescribed to prevent pregnancy in women of reproductive age and can also help regulate menstrual bleeding patterns.
How does ethinyloestradiol/etonogestrel work?+
The two hormones act on the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑ovarian axis. Ethinyloestradiol provides estrogenic activity while etonogestrel supplies progestogenic effects. Together they suppress the luteinizing hormone surge, preventing ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and modify the endometrial lining, making implantation unlikely.
What is the usual dose of Myloop?+
The dosing schedule is determined by the prescribing clinician. Typically, a single Myloop ring is inserted into the vagina and left in place for three weeks, followed by a one‑week ring‑free interval before a new ring is placed.
Is Myloop safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Myloop is contraindicated during pregnancy (pregnancy category X) and must not be used by women who are or may become pregnant. It is also not recommended for breastfeeding mothers because hormonal exposure may affect milk production and infant exposure.
How do I order Myloop from GNH USA?+
To request Myloop, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.
How does Myloop compare with combined oral contraceptive pills?+
Both Myloop and combined oral contraceptives contain the same hormone pair, but Myloop delivers them continuously via a vaginal ring, eliminating the need for daily dosing. This can improve adherence and provide more stable hormone levels, while oral pills require daily intake and may have more gastrointestinal side effects.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Myloop?+
Myloop should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the rings in their original packaging, protect them from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme heat to maintain hormone stability throughout the shelf life.
How is Myloop administered?+
A healthcare professional or the patient inserts the flexible vaginal ring into the upper vaginal fornix. The ring remains in place for three weeks, during which it continuously releases hormones, and is then removed for a one‑week break before a new ring is inserted.
What are the most serious risks associated with Myloop?+
The most serious risks include thromboembolic events such as deep‑vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, severe hypertension, hepatic adenoma, and rare allergic reactions. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience unexplained leg pain, shortness of breath, severe headache, or signs of an allergic response.
Who should not use Myloop?+
Myloop is contraindicated in women who are pregnant, have a history of thromboembolic disorders, are smokers over 35 years of age, have uncontrolled hypertension, have active liver disease, or have known hypersensitivity to either ethinyloestradiol or etonogestrel.
