Larissia

Larissia is a combined oral contraceptive (birth control pill) that contains two hormones: levonorgestrel (a progestin) and ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen). It is primarily used to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovaries), thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and altering the uterine lining to make it less suitable for implantation. When taken as directed, Larissia is highly effective at preventing pregnancy.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Larissia Work?

Larissia works by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). It also thickens the mucus in the cervix, making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus and reach an egg. Additionally, it changes the lining of the uterus to make it less likely for a fertilized egg to attach and develop. These combined actions make Larissia an effective form of birth control when taken as directed.

Common Dosages

  • Tablets: Each pack contains 28 tablets—21 active tablets containing 0.1 mg levonorgestrel and 20 mcg ethinyl estradiol, and 7 inactive placebo tablets.

Typical Dosing

  • For contraception: Take one tablet daily, at the same time each day. Start with the active pills for 21 days, followed by 7 days of placebo pills, during which you should have a menstrual period. Repeat this cycle each month.
  • If you miss a dose, follow the specific instructions provided in the medication guide to minimize the risk of pregnancy.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications
