Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Lasca, a combined oral contraceptive, is indicated for hormonal contraception to prevent pregnancy.
  • Contraception: prevents pregnancy in women of reproductive age.
  • Family planning: offers a reversible method of birth control for planned families.
  • Hormonal regulation: helps maintain regular menstrual cycles while providing contraceptive protection.

How It Works

  • Dienogest and ethinylestradiol act together to suppress the mid‑cycle surge of luteinising hormone (LH) and follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH), thereby inhibiting ovulation. The estrogen component stabilises the endometrial lining, while the progestogen component thickens cervical mucus and alters endometrial receptivity, reducing the chance of implantation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lasca is a combined oral contraceptive containing dienogest and ethinylestradiol. It is prescribed to prevent pregnancy in women of reproductive age by providing reliable hormonal birth control.

The two hormones suppress the mid‑cycle surge of luteinising hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone, which stops ovulation. In addition, the progestogen thickens cervical mucus and the estrogen stabilises the endometrium, making implantation unlikely.

The dosing regimen for Lasca is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, it is taken as a daily oral tablet, but the exact schedule and any missed‑dose instructions are provided by the prescriber.

Lasca is contraindicated in pregnancy; it must not be used by women who are pregnant or suspect they might be. Safety during breastfeeding has not been established, and a prescriber should be consulted before use in lactating women.

To order, submit an enquiry on the Lasca product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Lasca contains dienogest, a newer progestogen associated with a lower risk of androgenic side effects compared with older agents like levonorgestrel. Its efficacy in preventing pregnancy is comparable to other combined pills, while the side‑effect profile may differ slightly based on the progestogen component.

Store Lasca tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original blister pack. Keep the product away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat to maintain potency throughout its shelf life.

Lasca is taken orally, usually once daily at the same time each day. The tablet is swallowed with water and should be started according to the prescriber’s instructions, often on the first day of the menstrual cycle.

Serious risks include venous or arterial thromboembolism, stroke, myocardial infarction, severe hypertension and life‑threatening allergic reactions. Women with a history of clotting disorders, smoking over age 35, or uncontrolled hypertension should avoid use.

Lasca is contraindicated for pregnant women, individuals with known thrombophilia, current or past deep‑vein thrombosis, uncontrolled hypertension, certain liver diseases, and smokers over 35 years old. A healthcare professional should evaluate suitability before prescribing.
