WHAT LEVLEN ED IS
USED FOR
Levlen ED is a combined oral
contraceptive, commonly known
as a ‘birth control pill’ or ‘the
Pill’.
Levlen ED is used to prevent
pregnancy.
You may also experience the
following benefits:
•
more regular and lighter periods
– potentially resulting in a
decrease in anaemia (iron
deficiency)
•
a decrease in period pain.
Some conditions such as pelvic
inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts,
ectopic pregnancy (where the foetus
is carried outside of your womb),
lumpy breasts, acne and cancer of
the uterus (womb) and ovaries may
be less common in women taking
the Pill.
When taken correctly, Levlen ED
prevents you from
becoming pregnant in several ways,
including:
•
inhibiting ovulation (egg release)
•
changing the cervical mucus
consistency, making it more
difficult for the sperm to reach the
egg
•
changing the lining of the uterus,
making it less suitable for
implantation.
When the Pill is taken by women
under close observation in clinical
trials, it is more than 99% effective
in preventing pregnancy. However,
in real life the Pill is around 92%
effective. This is because pills might
have been missed, may have been
taken with medicines that interfere
with their effectiveness, or may not
be absorbed due to vomiting or
diarrhoea.
Like all oral contraceptives, Levlen
ED is intended to preven

DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Combined oral contraceptives (COCs), such as Levlen ED, when taken
correctly, have a
failure rate of approximately 1% per year. The failure rate may
increase when pills are
missed or taken incorrectly.
_HOW TO TAKE LEVLEN ED _
Tablets must be taken in the order directed on the package every day
at about the same time
with some water as needed. Tablet-taking is continuous following the
directional arrows. One
tablet is to be taken daily for 28 consecutive days. Each subsequent
pack is started the day
after the last tablet of the previous pack. Withdrawal bleeding
usually starts on day 2 - 3 after
starting the white hormone-free tablets and may not have finished
before the next pack is
started.
_HOW TO START LEVLEN ED _
START WITH THE FIRST TABLET FROM THE GREEN SECTION MARKED WITH THAT
DAY OF THE WEEK, in accordance with one of the following:
No preceding hormonal contraceptive use (in the past month)
Tablet-taking has to start on day 1 of the woman’s natural cycle
(i.e. the first day of her
menstrual bleeding). Starting on days 2 - 5 of the menstrual cycle is
allowed, but during the

for the first 7 days of
