Lucette Contraceptive Pill

Lucette is a female contraceptive pill that is used to prevent unwanted pregnancy. It is a combination pill that contains two synthetic versions of the female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone. The synthetic versions of these hormones in Lucette are called ethinylestradiol and drospirenone. When taken properly, Lucette is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. 

As mentioned, Lucette combines two synthetic versions of the female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone, these are known as ethinylestradiol and drospirenone. These two synthetic hormones work together to prevent an egg from being released from the ovaries. They also increase the amount of mucus in the cervix which makes it harder for sperm cells to reach the uterus. 

Lucette Pill

You should make sure to read the patient information leaflet that is provided with your medication prior to taking your first dose. You should take one Lucette pill a day for 21 days. After the 21st day, you stop for seven days. During this time you will experience bleeding similar to what you would have during your period. On the 8th day you begin taking the tablet again for another 21 days, and so on. 

You should aim to start taking Lucette on the first day of your period in order to be protected from the start of your treatment. If you begin taking Lucette on the 2nd-5th day of your period then you will need to use another form of contraception, such as a condom, for the next seven days to remain protected.

Here are some of the benefits of Lucette:

• You can have a regular sex life.

• It can make your periods lighter and more regular.
• It can help to make premenstrual syndrome (PMS) more manageable.
