What is Levora and why is it prescribed?
Levora is a highly effective means of preventing pregnancy. Oral contraceptives consist of synthetic forms of two hormones produced naturally in the body, either progestin alone or estrogen and progestin. Estrogen and progestin regulate a woman’s menstrual cycle, and the fluctuating levels of these hormones play an essential role in fertility. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious heart-related side effects in women who use oral contraceptives. This risk increases with heavy smoking and with age. There is an especially significant increase in heart disease risk in women over 35 years old who smoke and use oral contraceptives. How should you take Levora? Follow your doctors directions for taking Levora. Levora should be taken daily, no more than 24 hours apart, for the duration of the prescribed cycle of 21 or 28 days. Start the cycle according to package directions. Ideally, you should take your Levora pill at the same time every day to reduce the chance of forgetting a dose.
