100 micrograms / 20 micrograms film-coated tablets
levonorgestrel / ethinyl estradiol
What Levesia® is and what it is used for
- Levesia is a contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy.
- The pink tablets contain low amounts of two different female sex hormones, ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel.
- The white tablets do not contain any medicine, they are also called placebo tablets
- Birth control pills that contain two hormones are called combination pills . Levesia is called a low-dose birth control pill because it contains only small amounts of hormones .
Levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol contained in Levesia may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information. Ask your doctor, pharmacist or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions and always follow their instructions.

Generally
Before using Levesia, read the information on blood clots in section 2. It is especially important that you read about the symptoms of blood clots – see section 2, “Blood clots”.
Before you can start using Levesia, your doctor will ask you some questions regarding the medical history and medical history of your immediate family. Your doctor will also measure your blood pressure and, depending on your personal situation, perform other tests.
This leaflet describes several situations when you should stop taking Levesia, or when the protective effect of the contraceptive pill may be reduced. In these situations you should not have intercourse, or you should take extra measures in the form of non-hormonal methods, e.g. condom or any other barrier method . Do not use “safe periods” based on the menstrual cycle or temperature changes. These methods can be unreliable as Levesia upsets the normal changes in body temperature and cervical mucosa during the menstrual cycle.
Like other pill protects against Levesia not HIV – infection ( AIDS ) and other sexually transmitted diseases.
During the time you are taking this medicine, you should see your doctor regularly, at least twice a year.
If you get any unusual symptoms such as unexplained chest pain or pain in the abdomen or legs, you must contact your doctor immediately.
Warnings and cautions

- if a close relative has or has had breast cancer
- if you have liver or biliary tract disease
- if you have diabetes
- if you suffer from depression
- if you need to have an operation or stay in bed for a longer period (see section 2 “Blood clots”)
- if you have just given birth, you are at increased risk of getting blood clots. Ask your doctor how soon after giving birth you can start using Levesia
- if you have an inflammation of the veins under the skin (superficial thrombophlebitis )
- if you have varicose veins
- if you have Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis ( chronic inflammatory bowel disease)

- if you have or have had chloasma (yellow-brown pigment spots, especially on the face); if so, you should avoid exposing yourself to too much sunlight or ultraviolet radiation.
- contact a doctor immediately if you experience symptoms of angioedema , such as swelling of the face, tongue and / or throat and / or difficulty swallowing or hives , possibly with difficulty breathing. Products containing estrogen can cause or worsen the symptoms of hereditary or acquired angioedema .
When should you contact a doctor?
Seek medical attention immediately
- if you notice any possible signs of a blood clot that may indicate a blood clot in your leg (ie deep vein thrombosis ), a blood clot in your lung (ie pulmonary embolism ), a heart attack or a stroke (see section “Blood clots” below).
For a description of the symptoms of these serious side effects, go to “How to recognize a blood clot”.
BLOOD CLOTS
Using combined hormonal contraceptives such as Levesia increases the risk of blood clots compared to not using these drugs. In rare cases, a blood clot can block the blood vessels and cause serious problems.
Blood clots can form
- in veins (called venous thrombosis , venous thromboembolism or VTE)
- in the artery (called arterial thrombosis , arterial thromboembolism or ATE).
It is not always possible to fully recover from blood clots. In rare cases, they can have serious lasting effects and, in very rare cases, be fatal.
It is important to remember that the overall risk of a dangerous blood clot due to Levesia is small.

BLOOD CLOTS IN A FRIEND
What can happen if a blood clot forms in a vein?
- The use of combined hormonal contraceptives has been associated with an increased risk of blood clots in the vein (venous thrombosis ). However, these side effects are rare. They usually occur during the first year of using a combined hormonal contraceptive.
- If a blood clot forms in a vein in the leg or foot, it can lead to deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
- If a blood clot moves from the bone and stays in the lung, it can lead to a pulmonary embolism .
- In very rare cases, a blood clot can form in a vein in another organ such as the eye ( retinal venous thrombosis ).
When is the risk of developing a blood clot in a vein greatest?
The risk of developing a blood clot in a vein is greatest during the first year that you use combined hormonal contraceptives for the first time. The risk can also be higher if you start again with a combined hormonal contraceptive (same product or another product) after a break of 4 weeks or longer.
After the first year, the risk decreases, but it is always slightly higher than if you did not use a combined hormonal contraceptive.
When you stop using Levesia, the risk of a blood clot returns to normal within a few weeks.
How big is the risk of developing a blood clot?
The risk depends on your natural risk of VTE and the type of combined hormonal contraceptive you are taking.
The total risk of a blood clot in the leg or lungs with Levesia is small.
- Of 10,000 women who do not use a combined hormonal contraceptive and who are not pregnant, about 2 develop a blood clot in one year.
- Of 10,000 women who use a combined hormonal contraceptive that contains levonorgestrel, noretisterone, or norgestimate, about 5‑7 develop a blood clot in one year.
- The risk of developing a blood clot will vary depending on your personal medical history (see “Factors that may increase the risk of a blood clot in a vein” below)
| Risk of developing a blood clot during a year | |
| Women who do not use combined pills and who are not pregnant | About 2 out of 10,000 women |
| Women taking a combined hormonal contraceptive containing levonorgestrel, norethisterone, or norgestimate | About 5-7 out of 10,000 women |
| Women using Levesia | About 5-7 out of 10,000 women |
Factors that may increase the risk of a blood clot in a vein
The risk of a blood clot with Levesia is small but some conditions increase the risk. The risk is higher:
- if you are overweight (body mass index or BMI over 30 kg / m2)
- if someone in your family has had a blood clot in their bones, lungs or other organ at a young age (eg for about 50 years). In this case, you may have a hereditary blood clotting disease
- if you need to undergo surgery, or stay in bed for an extended period of time due to injury or illness, or if your leg is plastered. The use of Levesia may need to be stopped for several weeks before surgery or while you are less mobile. If you have to stop taking Levesia, ask your doctor when you can start taking it again
- with increasing age (especially if you are over about 35 years old)
- if you gave birth a few weeks ago
The more conditions you have, the greater the risk of developing a blood clot.
Air travel (over 4 hours) can temporarily increase the risk of a blood clot, especially if you have any of the other factors listed here.
You must tell your doctor if any of these conditions apply to you, even if you are unsure. Your doctor may decide that you need to stop taking Levesia.
If any of the above conditions change when you use Levesia, e.g. a close relative suffers from a blood clot with an unknown cause, or you gain a lot of weight, talk to your doctor.
BLOOD CLOTS IN AN ART
What can happen if a blood clot forms in an artery?
In the same way as a blood clot in a vein, a clot in an artery can lead to serious problems. It can e.g. cause a heart attack or stroke.
Factors that may increase the risk of a blood clot in an artery
It is important to know that the risk of a heart attack or stroke due to the use of Levesia is very small but may increase:
- with increasing age (after about 35 years of age)
- if you smoke. When you use combined hormonal contraceptives Levesia, you should stop smoking. If you can not stop smoking and are over 35 years old, your doctor may advise you to use another type of contraceptive
- if you are overweight
- if you have high blood pressure
- if a close relative has had a heart attack or stroke at a young age (younger than 50 years). In this case, you may also be at greater risk for a heart attack or stroke
- if you or a close relative have high blood fats ( cholesterol or triglycerides )
- if you get migraines , especially migraines with an aura
- if you have heart problems (valve disease, a heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation )
- if you have diabetes .
If you have more than one of these conditions or if any of them are particularly serious, the risk of developing a blood clot can be even greater.
If any of the above conditions change when you use Levesia, e.g. If you start smoking, a close relative suffers from thrombosis of unknown cause, or you gain a lot of weight, talk to your doctor.
Lesia and cancer
Breast cancer is diagnosed slightly more often in women who use birth control pills, but it is not known if the increase is due to birth control pills. It may be that women who use birth control pills are examined more often and thus any cancer is detected earlier. The small increase in the number of breast cancer diagnoses gradually decreases after discontinuation of use. It is important to examine your breasts regularly and consult a doctor if you notice any lump in your breasts.
In rare cases, benign liver tumors and, even more uncommonly, malignant liver tumors have been reported in birth control pill users. Contact a doctor if you have severe pain in the abdominal region.
Cervical cancer has been reported in association with the long-term use of birth control pills. However, it is not clear to what extent this is due to sexual behavior or other factors, such as infection by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Mental disorders
Some women who use hormonal contraceptives, including Levesia, have reported depression or depression. Depression can be severe and can sometimes lead to suicidal thoughts. If you experience mood swings and symptoms of depression, you should contact a doctor as soon as possible for advice.
Bleeding between periods
During the first few months that you use Levesia, there may be irregular bleeding (bleeding outside the week you take placebo tablets – tablets without medication). If these bleedings persist for more than a couple of months or if they return after a few months, consult a doctor to find out what is wrong.
If menstruation is absent
If you have taken all the pink tablets at the right time, have not vomited or had severe diarrhea in the meantime, or used other medicines, it is very unlikely that you would be pregnant.
If there is no bleeding twice in a row, you may be pregnant. Inform the doctor immediately. Do not start on the next tablet card until your doctor has checked that you are not pregnant.
Other medicines and Levesia®
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. They can tell you if you need to use additional contraceptive methods (eg condoms) and if so, for how long.
Some medicines can affect the levels of Levesia in the blood and thus make the medicine less effective in preventing pregnancy, and can cause unexpected bleeding:
- This includes treatment with drugs for:
- epilepsy (eg primidone, phenytoin , barbiturates , carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, topiramate or felbamate)
- tuberculosis (eg rifampicin)
- osteoarthritis , rheumatism (etoricoxib)
- HIV – infection (for example ritonavir, nelfinavir, efavirenz)
- fungal infections (eg griseofulvin)
- high blood pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs ( bosentan )
- Herbal medicines containing St. John’s wort
Levesia can also affect the effectiveness of other medicines, for example:
- medicines containing ciclosporin
- Lamotrigine, a drug for epilepsy (this may increase the frequency of seizures)
- theophylline (used to treat respiratory problems)
- tizanidine (used to treat muscle pain and / or muscle cramps)
Treatment with troleandomycin may increase the risk of worsening or total obstruction of bile flow from the liver to the small intestine when taken with combination pills.
Do not use Levesia if you have hepatitis C and are taking medicines containing ombitasvir / paritaprevir / ritonavir, dasabuvir, glekaprevir / pibrentasvir and
sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir as treatment with these products may lead to elevated liver function values in the blood (an increase in the liver enzyme ALT ).
Your doctor will prescribe a different type of contraceptive before you start treatment with these drugs.
Levesia can be started about 2 weeks after the end of this treatment. See section “Do not use Levesia”.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any other medicine.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.
Laboratory tests
If you have a blood test, tell your healthcare provider that you are using Levesia as it may affect the results of some tests.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
Levesia should not be used by pregnant women. If you become pregnant while taking Levesia, stop treatment immediately and contact your doctor. If you want to get pregnant, you can stop the treatment at any time (see also the section “If you stop using Levesia”).
Breast-feeding
Levesia is not recommended during breastfeeding. If you want to use birth control pills while you are breastfeeding, you should consult your doctor.
Driving and using machines
Levesia has no or negligible influence on the ability to drive and use machines.
You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention. One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and/or side effects. Descriptions of these effects and side effects can be found in other sections. Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Levesia® contains excipients
Levesia contains lactose
If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.
Levesia contains Allura red AC and soy lecithin
Film coating at Levesia contains all-red AC aluminum lacquer (E129) and soy lecithin, substances that can cause allergic reactions. If you are allergic to peanuts or soy, do not use this medicine.
How to use Levesia®
Always use Levesia exactly as your doctor has told you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
If you have used another contraceptive before starting treatment with Levesia 28 tablets, you know that the majority of contraceptives contain 21 tablets. With these contraceptives, you take one tablet for 21 days and then a week follows when you do not take any tablets (drug-free period).
The system to follow when using Levesia 28 tablets is different. Once you have taken the 21 pink tablets, you must continue and take 7 placebo tablets; Consequently, there is no drug-free period, but one placebo week (the week you take the placebo tablets in row 4). Since you have to take one tablet every day and there is thus no drug-free period between two packs, it becomes a routine to take the tablets and consequently, there is less risk that you forget to take one tablet.
The two different colors of Levesia 28 tablets are placed in order. One pack contains 28 tablets.
Take one tablet of Levesia every day. Levesia can be taken with or without food, if necessary with a small amount of water. You should take the tablets every day around the same time.
Do not mix the tablets: take one pink tablet once a day for the first 21 days and then a white tablet once a day for the last 7 days. You must start a new tablet immediately (21 pink tablets and then 7 white tablets). So that there is no tablet-free period between two tablet maps.
Due to the different compositions of the tablets, it is necessary that you start with the first tablet at the top left (near the label “START”) and that you take one tablet per day. For the correct order, follow the direction of the arrow on the tablet map.
For you to remember to take the tablet, Levesia is included in each pack, one self-adhesive sticker per tablet card that contains 7 self-adhesive weekly stickers that have the days of the week printed on them. Choose the weekly label that starts with the day you start taking the tablets. For example, if you start on a Wednesday, use the weekly label that begins with “ONS”.
Place the weekly label at the top of the tablet map where you can read “Attach the weekly adhesive strip here”.
There will then be a specified day of the week above each tablet and you can see if you have taken one tablet on a particular day. The arrows show the order in which you should take the tablets.
During the 7 days when you take the white placebo tablets (placebo days), the bleeding should start (so-called dropout bleeding). It usually starts 2 or 3 days after you take the last pink (active) tablet. After taking the last white tablet, start with the following tablet chart, regardless of whether the bleeding has stopped or not. This means that you should start each tablet chart on the same day of the week, and that dropout bleeding should occur on the same days each month.
If you use Levesia in this way, you will also be protected against pregnancy during the 7 days when you take a white placebo tablet.
How to start with your first tablet map
- When no hormonal contraceptive method has been used in the last monthStart taking Levesia on the first day of the menstrual cycle (ie the first day of bleeding). If you start with Levesia on the first day of the menstrual cycle, you have immediate protection against pregnancy. You can also start taking Levesia on days 2-5 of the menstrual cycle, but then you must use an extra method of contraception (eg condoms) as a supplement for the first 7 days.
- When changing from another contraceptive of combination type – birth control pill , vaginal ring or patchYou can start taking Levesia the day after the last tablet of the previous pill (the last tablet containing medicines), but never later than the day after the tablet-free interval (or the day after the last hormone-free tablet) of your previous pill . If you are changing from a vaginal ring or a combination- type patch , follow your doctor’s instructions.
- When changing from the contraceptive methods with only progestogens (mini- pills , contraceptive syringe , contraceptive rod or IUD)You can stop taking the mini-pills any day and start taking Levesia. For the contraceptive rod or IUD, the change must take place on the day the IUD or IUD is removed. For p- syringe , start taking Levesia on the day you should have received a new syringe . In all these cases, you should use an additional method of contraception (such as a condom) during the first seven days of taking the tablet.
- After abortion or miscarriageAsk your doctor for advice.
- After childbirthYou can start treatment between 21 and 28 days after you have had a child. If you start after day 28, use a so-called barrier method (eg condom) for the first seven days of using Levesia.If you have had sex after giving birth but before starting Levesia (again), make sure you are not pregnant or wait until the next period.
- If you are breast-feeding and want to start treatment with Levesia (again) after giving birthRead the section “Breastfeeding”.
Ask your doctor if you are unsure when to start.
