Buy Lutera Online

Overview

Lutera is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains two hormones: estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and progestin (levonorgestrel). Its primary purpose is to prevent pregnancy while also providing benefits such as regulating menstrual cycles and reducing menstrual-related symptoms.

How It Works

Lutera works by preventing ovulation, meaning that no eggs are released from the ovaries. The estrogen and progestin in Lutera also thicken the cervical mucus, which makes it more challenging for sperm to enter the uterus, and alter the uterine lining to prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg.

Effectiveness

When taken correctly, Lutera is over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. With typical use, the effectiveness rate is about 91%. Factors that may affect its effectiveness include missed doses, certain medications, and gastrointestinal disturbances such as vomiting or diarrhea.

Indications

Lutera is recommended for women seeking a reliable method of birth control. It is suitable for most women of reproductive age, typically starting from around 15 years old. Additionally, it may be beneficial for those who experience heavy menstrual bleeding or severe PMS.

Usage Instructions

1. When to Start: Begin taking Lutera on the first day of your period or on the first Sunday after your period starts.
2. Daily Routine: Take one pill at the same time every day for 28 consecutive days.
3. Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Use backup contraception if you miss more than one dose.
4. Storage: Store Lutera at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
