LoJaimiess
LoJaimiess is a combination oral contraceptive pill that contains two hormones: ethinyl estradiol (a synthetic form of estrogen) and levonorgestrel (a synthetic form of progestin). It is used to prevent pregnancy and may also be prescribed for regulating menstrual cycles, reducing the risk of ovarian cysts, treating acne, and alleviating symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). By preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovaries), thickening cervical mucus, and altering the uterine lining, LoJaimiess effectively reduces the likelihood of pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions
How effective is LoJaimiess at preventing pregnancy?
LoJaimiess is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken correctly. However, missing pills or taking them inconsistently can reduce its effectiveness.
Can I use LoJaimiess to skip my period?
Yes, some women use combination birth control pills to skip periods by continuously taking active pills and skipping the placebo pills. Consult your healthcare provider for guidance on how to do this safely.
What should I do if I miss a pill?
If you miss one active pill, take it as soon as you remember and take the next pill at the usual time. If you miss two or more pills, refer to the package insert for specific instructions and use backup contraception (e.g., condoms) until you’ve taken active pills for 7 consecutive days.
Can LoJaimiess help with acne?
Yes, LoJaimiess may help reduce acne in some women by regulating hormone levels that contribute to acne formation.
Are there any long-term risks associated with LoJaimiess?
Long-term use of combination oral contraceptives may increase the risk of certain conditions, such as blood clots and, in rare cases, breast and cervical cancer. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider are important for monitoring any potential risks.
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does LoJaimiess Work?
- Inhibiting ovulation: The hormones prevent the ovaries from releasing eggs.
- Thickening cervical mucus: This makes it harder for sperm to reach an egg.
- Altering the uterine lining: This makes it less suitable for a fertilized egg to implant.
The combination of estrogen and progestin provides effective contraception when taken as directed.
Common Dosages
- 24 active tablets: Containing 0.02 mg of ethinyl estradiol and 0.1 mg of levonorgestrel.
- 4 placebo tablets: Inactive pills that are taken during the last 4 days of the cycle to allow for a menstrual-like bleed.
Typical Dosing
- Take 1 active pill daily for 24 days, followed by 1 placebo pill daily for 4 days.
- It is important to take LoJaimiess at the same time every day to ensure its effectiveness.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Preventing pregnancy
- Regulating menstrual cycles

Advice From The Pharmacist
- Take LoJaimiess at the same time every day for maximum effectiveness. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If you miss more than one pill, follow the instructions in the package insert or contact your healthcare provider.
- Backup contraception (e.g., condoms) should be used if you miss a pill or start the pack late, especially during the first cycle.
- LoJaimiess does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Use a condom to reduce the risk of STIs.
- Certain medications, including antibiotics and antiepileptics, may reduce the effectiveness of LoJaimiess. Inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking.
