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:

  1. It halts the release of an egg during your menstruation cycle.
  2. It prevents the growth of the endometrial lining of the uterus so that it becomes unable to support the growth of the fertilized egg.
  3. It makes the mucus of the cervix thicker, which obstructs the flow of sperms, thus preventing fertilization.

  • Loette is not suitable for people who are regular smokers, are more than 35 years of age, obese, or have a history of blood clots, clotting disorder, or stroke. 
  • These medications are not suitable for pregnant and lactating women, as they can seriously affect the growing baby. Loette tablets also diminish the production of milk and are also passed on to the baby through milk.
