Get Lo/ovral Online

Lo/Ovral is a combined oral contraceptive containing ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel. It prevents pregnancy primarily by suppressing ovulation. It also thickens cervical mucus to block sperm and thins the uterine lining to reduce the chance of implantation.

When taken correctly every day at the same time, combined oral contraceptives like Lo/Ovral are more than 99% effective. With typical use, effectiveness is around 91%. Consistency is the most important factor in how well it works.

Lo/Ovral is taken once daily, ideally at the same time each day, with or without food. If you miss one pill, take it as soon as you remember and continue as normal. If you miss two or more pills, follow the instructions in the package insert and use a backup contraceptive method until advised otherwise by your provider.

Common side effects include nausea, breast tenderness, headache, spotting between periods, and mood changes. These often improve after the first two to three months. Serious but rare risks include blood clots, high blood pressure, and stroke, which is why a medical review is required before starting.

Lo/Ovral is not recommended for people who smoke and are over 35, those with a history of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack, individuals with certain migraines, uncontrolled high blood pressure, liver disease, or known or suspected pregnancy. Your Doctronic physician will screen for these conditions during your evaluation.

Combined oral contraceptives are sometimes used off-label to help manage menstrual irregularities, painful periods, acne, and symptoms of endometriosis. However, the primary indication for Lo/Ovral is contraception. Discuss any additional health goals with your Doctronic provider during your visit.
