What is evaluna?
Evaluna is a combined micropille with the gestagen Levonorgestrel and the estrogen ethinylestradiol. The pill belongs to the so-called 2nd generation pills and contains a very low estrogen dose with 0.02 mg.
Levonorgestrel is one of the longest used and best researched gestagenes. It is considered particularly safe and has a lower risk of thrombosis compared to recent gestagens.
Evaluna offers a Pearl index of 0.1 to 0.9 and thus a very reliable concept protection when correctly taken.
Active Ingredients & Mechanism of Action
Active ingredient: Levonorgestrel 0,1 mg, Ethinylestradiol 0,02 mg
Evaluna acts through the interplay of Levonorgestrel and Ethinylestradiol:
Depression of ovulation: The hormones inhibit the release of the gonadotropins FSH and LH from the brain attachment gland, which does not cause ovulation.
Zervixschleim thickening: The gestagen Levonorgestrel makes the mucilage more viscous and impermeable to sperm.
**Endometrium Change:* * The cervical mucosa is constructed less strongly, which would make it difficult to insert an egg.
The effect is guaranteed only with daily intake.
Who is it suitable for?
Evaluna is particularly suitable for:
- women seeking a well-tolerated prevention with low risk of thrombosis
- First users of the pill
- Women who are sensitive to higher estrogen doses
- Women without increased risk of thrombosis
Levonorgestrel-containing pills are often recommended as a means of first choice, as they have the lowest risk of thrombosis among the combination pills.
