Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Jolessa Work?

  1. Prevention of ovulation: The hormones in Jolessa inhibit the release of eggs from the ovaries.
  2. Thickening of cervical mucus: This makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus.
  3. Alteration of the uterine lining: The lining becomes less suitable for implantation, thus reducing the likelihood of pregnancy.

Common Dosages

  • Jolessa is typically provided in 84 active pills (0.09 mg of levonorgestrel and 0.02 mg of ethinyl estradiol) followed by 7 inactive pills.

Typical Dosing

  • For contraception: Take 1 active pill daily at the same time for 84 consecutive days, followed by 1 inactive pill daily for the next 7 days. A withdrawal bleed typically occurs during the inactive pill phase.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Prevention of pregnancy
  • Management of menstrual-related symptoms
  • Regulation of menstrual cycles

Who Shouldn't Take Jolessa?

  • Known hypersensitivity to ethinyl estradiol, levonorgestrel, or any components of the formulation.
  • History of blood clots, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or pulmonary embolism (PE).
  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure or certain types of cancers (e.g., breast cancer).
  • Liver disease or liver tumors.

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Take Jolessa at the same time every day to ensure maximum effectiveness.
  • If you miss a pill, follow the instructions in the package insert or contact your healthcare provider for guidance.
  • Jolessa does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs); use condoms to reduce the risk of STIs.
  • Some women may experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding during the first few months of use, which typically resolves as the body adjusts to the hormones.

Risks and Warnings of Jolessa
