Comprehensive Birth Control with Levofem 3-Month Pack
Levofem 3-Month Pack (84 Tablets) is a combined oral contraceptive (COC) widely used across Nigeria for effective family planning. This pack contains three blister strips, each designed for a 28-day cycle, providing a convenient and cost-effective three-month supply.
How It Works
Levofem contains a low-dose combination of two hormones: Levonorgestrel (0.15 mg) and Ethinylestradiol (0.03 mg). These work together to:
- Prevent Ovulation: Stops the release of an egg from the ovaries.
- Thicken Cervical Mucus: Creates a barrier that makes it difficult for sperm to reach an egg.
- Alter Uterine Lining: Changes the lining of the womb to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting.
Tablet Composition
Each 28-day strip contains:
- 21 Yellow Active Tablets: Hormonal pills taken daily for 3 weeks to prevent pregnancy.
- 7 Placebo Tablets (White or Brown): These contain Ferrous Fumarate (Iron) to help maintain the daily habit of pill-taking and support blood health during your withdrawal bleed.
Benefits & Uses
Beyond pregnancy prevention, Levofem is often used to:
- Regulate menstrual cycles.
- Reduce menstrual pain and heavy bleeding.
- Provide a steady supply of contraception, reducing the need for monthly pharmacy visits.
How to Use
Take one tablet at the same time every day for 84 consecutive days. Start with the yellow active pills and move to the iron pills at the end of each 28-day strip. If you have questions about starting Levofem or missed doses, you can contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.
Note: Levofem is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM). Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting a new contraceptive.
