What are the uses for Levonorgestrel And Ethinyl Estradiol?

Levonorgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets USP are indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use oral contraceptives as a method of contraception. In a 1-year controlled clinical trial, 4 pregnancies occurred in women 18 to 35 years of age during 809 completed 91-day cycles of levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets during which no backup contraception was utilized. This represents an overall use-efficacy (typical user efficacy) Pregnancy rate of 1.98 per 100 women-years of use.Oral contraceptives are highly effective for pregnancy prevention. Table 2 lists the typical unintended pregnancy rates for users of combination oral contraceptives and other methods of contraception. The efficacy of these contraceptive methods, except sterilization, the IUD, and Norplant® Implant System, depends upon the reliability with which they are used. Correct and consistent use of methods can result in lower failure rates.Table 2: Percentage of women experiencing an unintended pregnancy during the first year of typical use and the first year of perfect use of contraception and the percentage continuing use at the end of the first year: United States.% of Women Experiencing anUnintended Pregnancywithin the First Year of Use% of WomenContinuing Useat One Year 3Source: Trussell J, Contraceptive efficacy.

Among such populations, about 89% become pregnant within one ear. This estimate was lowered slightly (to 85%) to represent the percentage who would ecome pregnant within one year among women now relying on reversible methods of contraception if they abandoned contraception altogether.5 Foams, creams, gels, vaginal suppositories and vaginal film.6Cervical mucus (ovulation) method supplemented by calendar in the pre-ovulatory and basalbody temperature in the post-ovulatory phases.7With spermicidal cream or jelly.8Without spermicides.9 The treatment schedule is one dose within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse and a second dose 12 hours after the first dose.
