Elevin

What is Elevin and How Does it Work?

Elevin is a combined oral contraceptive pill, commonly referred to as "the Pill," used primarily to prevent pregnancy. Each tablet contains a precise dose of two active synthetic hormones: ethinylestradiol (30 mcg), an oestrogen, and levonorgestrel (150 mcg), a progestogen. This medication is now available through online consultation with Prescriptsy, offering a secure and professional way to manage your contraceptive needs from the comfort of your home.

The hormones in Elevin work together in three specific ways to provide reliable protection:

• Inhibiting Ovulation: It prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg each month.
• Thickening Cervical Mucus: It increases the density of the mucus at the neck of the womb, making it difficult for sperm to reach an egg.
• Altering the Uterine Lining: It thins the lining of the uterus, making it significantly less likely for a fertilised egg to implant itself.

How to Take Elevin Correctly

To ensure maximum contraceptive protection, it is vital to take Elevin exactly as instructed by your healthcare provider. Elevin comes in strips of 21 tablets, each marked with a day of the week to help you keep track of your dosage.

Follow these standard guidelines for use:

• Take one tablet at the same time every day for 21 consecutive days.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water. It does not matter if you take it with or without food, as long as you remain consistent with the timing.
• After completing a 21-day strip, you will have a 7-day break where no tablets are taken. During this week, you will typically experience a "withdrawal bleed," similar to a period.
• Start your next strip exactly on the eighth day, even if you are still bleeding.

If you vomit or have severe diarrhoea within 3 to 4 hours of taking your pill, or if you forget to take a dose, refer to the patient information leaflet for specific "missed pill" instructions or contact our clinical team for advice.

Possible Side Effects

Elevin is a prescription-only medication. A prescription is required to ensure the treatment is safe for your specific health profile, and this is provided via our online consultation process. While Elevin is well-tolerated by most women, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with a history of blood clots, certain types of migraines, or severe liver disease.

Some users may experience mild side effects, which often settle down after the first few months as the body adjusts to the hormones. These can include:

• Nausea or mild stomach upset.
• Weight fluctuations.
• Headaches.
• Breast tenderness or mood changes.
• Intermittent spotting between periods.

Serious side effects are rare, but it is important to be aware of the increased risk of blood clots (thrombosis) associated with combined contraceptives. Smoking, being overweight, or having high blood pressure can increase these risks. Always disclose your full medical history and lifestyle habits during your consultation to ensure your safety.
