Levomin 20 (Ethinylestradiol, Levonorgestrel)

Ethinylestradiol acts as a synthetic estrogen, while levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestogen. Together they inhibit the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑gonadal axis, reducing luteinizing hormone and follicle‑stimulating hormone release, which prevents follicular development and ovulation. The progestogen also thickens cervical mucus and creates an endometrial environment that is unsuitable for implantation.

The specific dosing regimen for Levomin 20 is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, combined oral contraceptives are taken as one tablet daily at the same time each day, but the exact schedule and any missed‑dose instructions should be provided by the prescriber.

Levomin 20 is contraindicated during pregnancy because it is intended to prevent conception, not to treat an existing pregnancy. Women who become pregnant should discontinue use immediately. While limited data exist for breastfeeding, combined oral contraceptives are generally considered compatible, but a clinician should evaluate individual risk‑benefit factors.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Levomin 20 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 (including any cold‑chain requirements), and the necessary import documentation.

Levomin 20 contains a standard dose of ethynylestradiol combined with levonorgestrel, a widely used progestogen. Compared with other formulations, it offers a familiar safety profile and efficacy. Differences among products usually relate to the estrogen dose, the type of progestogen, and any additional indications such as acne control; clinicians select based on individual patient needs.

Levomin 20 tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original blister pack or container, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the packaging remains sealed until use. Do not store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Levomin 20 is taken orally as a single tablet each day, preferably at the same time each day. The tablet is swallowed whole with water and should be taken with or without food according to the prescriber’s instructions. Consistent daily intake maintains hormone levels needed for effective contraception.

Serious but rare risks include venous thromboembolism, stroke, myocardial infarction, and severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. These events are more likely in women with pre‑existing cardiovascular risk factors, smoking history, or certain genetic clotting disorders. Prompt medical attention is required if symptoms such as sudden leg pain, chest discomfort, or severe rash occur.

Levomin 20 should not be used by women who are pregnant, have a known history of thromboembolic disorders, estrogen‑dependent tumors, uncontrolled hypertension, active liver disease, or who are over 35 and smoke. Additionally, individuals taking contraindicated medications or with known hypersensitivity to any component of the tablet should avoid its use.
