Lactevenor 0.3 Mg

Description:

Lactevenor 0.03 mg coated tablets is a hormonal contraceptive medicine containing the progestin levonorgestrel. It is used for emergency contraception and for the prevention of pregnancy when taken as directed. Levonorgestrel works by inhibiting or delaying ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the endometrium to reduce the chance of fertilization and implantation. This product is intended for women of reproductive age and should be used under medical guidance as part of responsible family planning and contraception.

Indications:

• Emergency contraception after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure (e.g., condom breakage, missed oral contraceptive pills), as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Hormonal contraception for the prevention of unintended pregnancy.
• May be used as part of a comprehensive contraceptive plan for women who need a progestin-based method, according to physician recommendation.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps prevent unintended pregnancy when used correctly as emergency or regular hormonal contraception.
• Acts by suppressing or delaying ovulation, thereby reducing the likelihood of egg release and fertilization.
