Levofem (28 Tablets) - Effective Birth Control and Cycle Regulation
Levofem is a reliable low-dose combined oral contraceptive (COC) used by women across Nigeria for effective birth control and hormonal balance. Marketed by DKT International, it is specifically designed to provide over 99% protection against unplanned pregnancy when taken consistently.
How Levofem Works
Each pack contains 28 tablets to match your monthly cycle:
- 21 Active Pills (Yellow): Contain Levonorgestrel (0.15 mg) and Ethinylestradiol (0.03 mg). These hormones prevent pregnancy by suppressing ovulation (the release of an egg) and thickening cervical mucus to block sperm.
- 7 Reminder Pills (White): Contain Ferrous Fumarate (75 mg). These non-hormonal iron tablets help you stay in the habit of taking your pill daily while providing a small iron supplement to support your body during your period.
Key Benefits of Levofem
- Highly Effective Contraception: Provides reliable pregnancy prevention for women who want to plan their families.
- Regulates Menstrual Cycles: Often used in Nigeria to treat irregular periods and reduce menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea).
- Hormonal Balance: Helps manage conditions like moderate acne and symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
- Easy Routine: The 28-day regimen ensures you never miss a day, making it a convenient choice for busy lifestyles.
How to Take Levofem
- Start Today: Take your first yellow pill on the first day of your period.
- Same Time Every Day: It is essential to take one tablet at the same time each day to maintain effectiveness.
- Follow the Pack: Take all 21 yellow pills in order, followed immediately by the 7 white iron pills.
- No Breaks: Start a new pack the very next day after the last white pill. Do not skip any days between packs.
Important Safety Information
- Who should avoid it? Levofem is not recommended for women with a history of blood clots, severe liver disease, or certain types of cancer.
- Pregnancy Check: Do not take Levofem if you are already pregnant. If you miss a period while on the pill, contact a GoMed pharmacist or your doctor for a consultation.
Note: Levofem does not protect against HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Use a condom for dual protection.
