Description

What is Lucette?

This is a combined contraceptive pill that helps prevent pregnancy. Ethinylestradiol and drospirenone are its two active ingredients. These are synthetic versions of oeastroge and progesterone. It’s 99% effective in preventing pregnancy when taken correctly and can also help regulate menstrual cycles.

How Does Lucette work?

Lucette helps to prevent ovulation, which subsequently prevents the production of eggs. It also leads to the building up of mucus in the cervix, thus blocking sperms from getting to the uterus. It also helps thin your uterus lining and makes it difficult for an egg that has been fertilized to be embedded into the wall of the uterus.

It prevents pregnancy, reduces premenstrual symptoms, and improves period pain and flow.
