Lynestrenol

Uses

Lynestrenol is used for contraception.

How it Works

How Lynestrenol works Lynestrenol is a progestin, a type of female hormone. It functions by preventing sperm cells from entering the uterus, thickening the cervical mucus, and inhibiting the development of the female egg. This mechanism helps to prevent pregnancy.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Lynestrenol include headache, nausea, weight gain, irregular menstrual cycle, mood changes, acne, and breast pain.

Expert Advice

  • Lynestrenol helps prevent pregnancy.
  • Take it continuously at the same time every day with no break between packs of pills.
  • Unlike other combined oral contraceptives, it can also be taken by women who:
    • Smoke
    • Are over 35 years of age
    • Are breastfeeding
  • If you are more than 12 hours late in taking a pill, you will not be protected against pregnancy.
  • Use other contraceptive methods, such as condoms, for the next two days.
  • It may stop your periods or make them:
    • Lighter
    • Irregular
    • More frequent
  • If you vomit within 2 hours of taking Lynestrenol, take another pill as soon as you feel well.
  • Stop taking this medicine and inform your doctor immediately if you notice:
    • Unexplained swelling and pain in your limbs
    • Shortness of breath
    • Chest pain
    • Severe headache
    • Changes in vision
  • These could be symptoms of a blood clot in a vein.

Frequently asked questions

If you vomit within 3-4 hours of taking Lynestrenol, treat it as a missed dose and take another tablet.
Lynestrenol is a progesterone-only oral contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy.
Lynestrenol is over 99% effective with correct usage, meaning fewer than 1 in 100 women will get pregnant in a year. However, missed doses, vomiting, or diarrhea can reduce its effectiveness.
Common side effects include irregular vaginal bleeding, headache, nausea, acne, depression, and breast pain. Most are temporary, but consult your doctor if they persist.
Follow your doctor's instructions and take your tablet at the same time every day to maintain consistent hormone levels.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it's more than 3 hours late, use a non-hormonal contraceptive like condoms for the next 7 days to prevent pregnancy. Frequent missed doses may cause unexpected bleeding; consult your doctor if this occurs.
No break is needed; start the next pack immediately. You may experience lighter, normal, or absent periods while using it.
Lynestrenol can be used by lactating women and avoids the estrogen-related side effects associated with combined oral contraceptives.
