VyLibra

VyLibra is an oral contraceptive containing levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol, used to prevent pregnancy. It works by inhibiting ovulation (the release of an egg), thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and altering the uterine lining to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. VyLibra is also used to regulate menstrual cycles, treat acne, and reduce the risk of ovarian cysts.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does VyLibra Work?

VyLibra works by preventing ovulation and altering the cervical mucus and uterine lining. Levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestin that suppresses the release of luteinizing hormone (LH), which is necessary for ovulation, while ethinyl estradiol suppresses the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), further preventing egg release. Together, these hormones also thicken the cervical mucus and thin the uterine lining, making it less likely for sperm to reach the egg or for a fertilized egg to implant.

Common Dosages

  • 21 active tablets containing 0.15 mg levonorgestrel and 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol
  • 7 placebo tablets for a hormone-free week.

Typical Dosing

  • Take one active pill daily for 21 days, followed by one placebo pill daily for 7 days. During the placebo week, withdrawal bleeding typically occurs, mimicking a natural menstrual cycle.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Prevention of pregnancy
  • Menstrual cycle regulation
  • Reduction of acne in women seeking contraception
  • Management of hormonal imbalances and symptoms like heavy or painful periods

Who Shouldn't Take VyLibra?

  • A history of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack
  • Known or suspected breast cancer or other hormone-sensitive cancers
  • Uncontrolled hypertension
  • Liver disease or liver tumors
  • Known hypersensitivity to levonorgestrel, ethinyl estradiol, or any inactive ingredients in VyLibra

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Take VyLibra at the same time every day to ensure its effectiveness. Missing pills or taking them inconsistently increases the risk of pregnancy.
  • If you miss one pill, take it as soon as you remember. If you miss two or more pills, follow the package instructions and use backup contraception for the next 7 days.
  • VyLibra does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), so additional protection, such as condoms, should be used to prevent STIs.
  • Some medications, including antibiotics and anticonvulsants, may reduce the effectiveness of VyLibra, so inform your healthcare provider about any other medications you are taking.

Risks and Warnings of VyLibra

  • Cardiovascular Risk: Smoking while using VyLibra, especially in women over 35, increases the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or blood clots.
  • Blood Clots: Combination oral contraceptives like VyLibra may increase the risk of blood clots, particularly in women with a history of clotting disorders, obesity, or smoking.
  • Breast Cancer: There is a slightly increased risk of developing breast cancer in women using hormonal contraceptives, especially those with a family history of breast cancer.
