Lo/Ovral is a combination oral contraceptive pill that is commonly prescribed to prevent pregnancy. It contains two hormones, ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel, which work together to prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and thin the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg.

This medication is taken once daily at the same time each day for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break where no pills are taken. It is important to take Lo/Ovral exactly as prescribed to ensure its effectiveness in preventing pregnancy.

In addition to its contraceptive benefits, Lo/Ovral may also help regulate menstrual cycles, reduce menstrual cramps, and decrease the risk of developing ovarian cysts. Some women may also experience lighter periods and less severe premenstrual symptoms while taking this medication.

As with any medication, there are potential side effects associated with Lo/Ovral. These may include nausea, breast tenderness, headaches, and changes in mood or libido. It is important to discuss any concerns or side effects with your healthcare provider.

Il est important de noter que MonoNessa ne protège pas contre les infections sexuellement transmissibles (IST). Il est recommandé d'utiliser des formes de protection supplémentaires, comme des préservatifs, pour réduire le risque d'IST.

If you are considering starting Lo/Ovral as a form of contraception, it is important to discuss your medical history and any current medications with your healthcare provider to ensure that it is a safe and appropriate option for you. Your healthcare provider can provide personalized guidance and recommendations based on your individual needs and health status.
