Quick summary

Type of medicine

Combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC) containing an oestrogen (ethinylestradiol) and a progestogen (levonorgestrel).

Works by

By preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the lining of the uterus, Levonorgestrel / Ethinylestradiol works on multiple levels to prevent pregnancy. These hormonal actions mimic the body’s natural processes to maintain a stable hormonal balance and prevent the release of an egg. This multi-target approach provides reliable and well-tolerated contraceptive protection when used regularly and according to instructions.

Active ingredient

Ethinylestradiol (0.03mcg) and levonorgestrel (0,15 mcg)

Effective within

When started on the first day of your period, Levonorgestrel / Ethinylestradiol is effective immediately. If the first tablet is taken on another day of the cycle, an additional contraceptive method should be used for the first 7 days to ensure full protection.

Generic?

Yes – it is a generic medication containing a fixed combination of ethinylestradiol (0.03 mg) and levonorgestrel (0.15 mg), equivalent to several branded combined oral contraceptive pills (such as Microgynon or Levlen).

Side effects

The most common side effects include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, mood changes, mild weight gain, and spotting between periods. These effects are usually mild and tend to improve over time. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as blood clots or allergic reactions may occur. If you experience unusual or persistent symptoms, seek medical advice immediately.
