Eloine Contraceptive Pill

About Eloine Contraceptive Pill

Eloine is a combined hormonal contraceptive pill designed to prevent pregnancy through a reliable daily dosing routine. Each pack contains 24 light pink active tablets with ethinylestradiol (0.02 mg) and drospirenone (3 mg), followed by 4 white placebo tablets. This 24/4 dosing schedule supports stable hormone levels and predictable withdrawal bleeding.

Eloine prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the uterine lining. As a low-dose option, it is suited for women seeking consistent, reversible contraception with a regular monthly cycle.

Eloine is available exclusively as a:

• 3-month supply (3 strips of 28 tablets)
