Lucette Contraceptive Pill

About Lucette Contraceptive Pill

Lucette Contraceptive Pill is a combined oral contraceptive tablet that contains ethinylestradiol 0.03 mg and drospirenone 3 mg. It is designed to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the lining of the womb, making it harder for sperm to reach an egg and for implantation to occur.

Lucette is taken in a 28-day cycle and is suitable for women looking for a reliable and reversible form of birth control. Each blister strip contains 21 active tablets and 7 inactive tablets to help you maintain a consistent daily routine.

Lucette Contraceptive Pill is available in:
