Description
Loette is an oral contraceptive pill that uses a combination of two hormones – Levonorgestrel, progesterone, and Ethinyl Estradiol, an estrogen, in a concentration of 0.10 mg and 0.02 mg respectively. These pills help you in preventing pregnancy via multiple processes – by stopping the release of the egg, thickening the cervix’s mucus, and preventing the uterine lining to become thicker. These pills work most efficiently when taken at a fixed interval of 24 hours. Be aware that these pills will not provide any protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
How Does Loette Work?
Loette inhibits pregnancy by following processes:
- It halts the release of an egg during your menstruation cycle.
- It prevents the growth of the endometrial lining of the uterus so that it becomes unable to support the growth of the fertilized egg.
- It makes the mucus of the cervix thicker, which obstructs the flow of sperms, thus preventing fertilization.
