Product Overview:
Lovima is a progestogen-only contraceptive pill containing Desogestrel 75mcg. It works primarily by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg), thickening the cervical mucus to hinder sperm from reaching the egg, and altering the lining of the womb to prevent implantation. Lovima offers a reliable, convenient option for women seeking effective contraception without the use of oestrogen.
Indications:
Lovima is prescribed for contraception and is suitable for women who require a progestogen-only pill (POP), particularly those who cannot use combined hormonal contraceptives due to medical reasons or personal preference.
Dosage and Administration:
Take one tablet of Lovima daily at the same time each day.
The pack contains 28 tablets, and you should take them continuously, with no break between packs, unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider.
Lovima can be taken with or without food. It is important to maintain consistency in taking the pill at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness.
If you miss a tablet, refer to the patient information leaflet or consult a healthcare provider for advice on the appropriate steps to take.

Speak to your doctor if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or other health conditions that may affect the use of Lovima.
