Levest is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains two active ingredients: ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. This contraceptive works by preventing ovulation, thickening the cervical mucus to stop sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation. It is suitable for women looking to prevent pregnancy.
About Levest
Dosage and usage
You should take one Levest pill daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break before starting the next pack. Make sure to take the pill at the same time each day to maintain its effectiveness. If you forget to take a pill, follow the instructions in the leaflet provided. If you vomit within 2-3 hours of taking a pill, it may not be fully effective, so take another one. In case of persistent vomiting or severe diarrhoea, use other contraceptive methods as backup.
What Levest contains
Each Levest pill contains 150 micrograms of levonorgestrel and 30 micrograms of ethinylestradiol. The inactive ingredients include lactose, maize starch, povidone, and magnesium stearate.
Side effects
Common side effects of Levest include headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, and mood changes. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include chest pain, shortness of breath, severe abdominal pain, or a severe headache. If you experience any of these, seek medical help promptly.
Precautions
Do not use Levest if you have a history of blood clots, certain heart conditions, or uncontrolled high blood pressure. This contraceptive is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have a history of migraines, liver disease, or breast cancer, consult your healthcare provider before using Levest.

It is quick and efficient and cost is reasonable. For repeat prescriptions of a pretty low level drug it would be better still to allow more than one months worth of pills at a time.
