What is Lizinna?
How does it work?
Lizinna works by introducing two hormones into the body that women naturally experience. These are a synthetic estrogen Ethinyl estradiol and the synthetic progestin norgestimate. Synthetic hormones work together to control your cycle and reproductive periods in three specific ways:
- Prevents an egg from maturing and leaving the ovary every month
- The lining of the uterus is thinned so that an egg cannot be implanted
- Thicken natural cervical mucus, so sperm cannot enter the uterus to fertilize an egg
- If you take a pill every day and follow the instructions, Lizinna gives you one of the highest rates of contraception.
What are the benefits of taking it?
This oral contraceptive is a long-term reversible contraceptive method that does not interrupt sexual relations. Provides rapid contraceptive coverage with minimal side effects.
In addition to reliably preventing pregnancy, Lizinna uses also includes the ability to lighten periods to improve PMS and regulate periods so that regular, lighter bleeding is experienced with less pain.
It can also help reduce acne, endometriosis symptoms, and give control over when you experience bleeding. Many women find that a regular cycle of periods helps them manage their work and home life more easily.
How do I use it and its dosage?
Each Lizinna contraceptive pill contains 250 micrograms of norgestimate and 35 micrograms of Ethinylestradiol. It is a monophasic combined contraceptive, which means that each of the pills contains the same amount of synthetic estrogen and progesterone, so you don’t have to worry about taking the right amount in the right order; one pill a day is all that is needed.
For the recommended lizinna dosages, You should take one pill a day for 21 days, and then have a seven-day break unless you miss a period, in which case you should take the next pack right away. He is still protected during his seven-day break.
Lizinna pills come in monthly packages with the days of the week printed on the packaging so you can keep track of your dose.
On your seven-day break, you may experience bleeding. This is not a true period, but rather a withdrawal bleed due to falling hormone levels in your body. When seven days have passed, you should start the next pack of pills, even if you are still bleeding.
Take Lizinna at the same time each day with or without food. Lizinna is a small pill that is easily swallowed without water if necessary, but it is best to take it with a drink.
