Frequently asked questions

What is Novynette used for?+
Novynette is a combined oral contraceptive containing desogestrel and ethinylestradiol. It is prescribed to prevent pregnancy, regulate menstrual cycles, and treat hormone‑related acne in women of reproductive age.
How does desogestrel and ethinylestradiol work in Novynette?+
Desogestrel acts as a progestogen that suppresses the luteinising hormone surge, while ethinylestradiol provides estrogenic feedback that stabilises the endometrium and reinforces negative feedback on gonadotropins. Together they inhibit ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and alter the uterine lining, creating multiple barriers to fertilisation and implantation.
What is the usual dose of Novynette?+
The dosing regimen for Novynette is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, it is taken as one tablet daily at the same time each day, but the exact schedule and any missed‑dose instructions should follow the prescriber’s guidance.
Is Novynette safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Novynette is contraindicated in known or suspected pregnancy and should not be started during pregnancy. It is generally not recommended for breastfeeding women because hormonal contraceptives can affect milk production; a healthcare provider should evaluate alternative options.
How do I order Novynette from GNH USA?+
To order Novynette, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com with 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 (including any cold‑chain requirements), and import documentation.
How does Novynette compare with other combined oral contraceptives?+
Novynette contains desogestrel, a third‑generation progestogen, which may offer a lower incidence of androgenic side effects such as acne compared with older progestins. Its efficacy in preventing pregnancy is comparable to other combined oral contraceptives, but individual tolerability and risk profiles can differ.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Novynette?+
Novynette tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect them from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid storing in humid or excessively hot environments.
How is Novynette administered?+
Novynette is taken orally as a tablet. The usual regimen is one tablet each day, preferably at the same time, for 21 consecutive days followed by a hormone‑free interval (typically 7 days) during which withdrawal bleeding occurs.
What are the most serious risks associated with Novynette?+
The most serious risks include venous or arterial thromboembolism (blood clots), stroke, myocardial infarction, and severe hypertension. Patients with a history of clotting disorders, smoking, or certain cardiovascular conditions should be evaluated carefully before starting therapy.
Who should not use Novynette?+
Novynette should not be used by women who are pregnant, have known or suspected breast cancer, have a history of thromboembolic disease, uncontrolled hypertension, severe liver disease, or are smokers aged 35 years or older. Contraindications are detailed in the product’s prescribing information.
