SEASONALE
Active Ingredient: LEVONORGESTREL, ETHINYL ESTRADIOL
Product Overview
About SEASONALE
SEASONALE is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredients LEVONORGESTREL and ETHINYL ESTRADIOL, which are used for birth control. It is a type of hormonal contraceptive that helps prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Prevents pregnancy when taken as directed
- Regulates menstrual cycles and reduces the frequency of periods
- May help reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) such as bloating, breast tenderness, and mood swings
Active Ingredient & Action
LEVONORGESTREL and ETHINYL ESTRADIOL work together to prevent pregnancy by suppressing the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus, which in turn reduces the production of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland. This suppression of LH and FSH prevents ovulation and thickens cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg.
Important Notes
It is essential to take SEASONALE exactly as prescribed by your doctor, and to follow the recommended dosage and administration instructions. Women should not smoke while taking SEASONALE, especially if they are over 35 years old, as this can increase the risk of blood clots and other cardiovascular problems. Regular check-ups with your doctor are also necessary to monitor your health and adjust the dosage as needed.
