Details on: Levlite®
Levonorgestrel 0.10 mg and Ethinyl Estradiol 0.02 mg tablets

Levlite is a low-dose birth control pill that contains forms of progestin and estrogen—Levonorgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol—that doctors have trusted for years. Containing one-third less of these hormones than older birth control pill formulas of the same ingredients, Levlite offers you safe, effective protection on the lowest available dose. In clinical studies of more than 1,500 women, Levlite was well-tolerated and just as effective as other oral contraceptives when taken as directed.

About The Pill

  • Easy to use—one pill, once a day
  • 99% effective in preventing pregnancy when used as directed
  • No permanent effects on fertility—you can become pregnant when you stop taking The Pill

More than pregnancy prevention

Levlite is one of the new generation of low-dose oral contraceptives believed to offer some of the same health benefits offered by higher-dose pills. As with other birth control pills, studies have shown that women may also benefit from:

  • More regular periods
  • Less painful periods
  • Lighter menstrual flow (and less threat of anemia due to iron deficiency)
  • Less chance of acute pelvic inflammatory disease
  • Fewer ovarian cysts
  • Less likelihood of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy
  • Protection against cancer of the ovaries and the lining of the uterus
  • Protection against non-cancerous breast cysts and lumps
