Elevin is a combined contraceptive pill containing two hormones: ethinylestradiol (an estrogen) and levonorgestrel (a progestin). When taken correctly, Elevin is a highly reliable method of preventing pregnancy. It works by stopping ovulation, altering the cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach the uterus, and changing the uterine lining to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting. In addition to contraception, Elevin can also help manage menstrual symptoms like severe cramps, heavy bleeding, or irregular periods.
Each pack of Elevin contains 21 tablets. You take one tablet daily at the same time for 21 consecutive days. After finishing the strip, you take a seven-day break, during which you will experience a withdrawal bleed. On the eighth day, you start a new pack, even if you are still bleeding. If you miss a tablet, vomit, or have severe diarrhea, the effectiveness of Elevin may be reduced. In these cases, follow the guidance provided in the package leaflet or consult a healthcare professional.
