Alesse 21 Day (active ingredient: levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Contraception: Alesse is used to prevent pregnancy in women by inhibiting ovulation, altering the cervical mucus, and modifying the endometrial lining to prevent implantation.
  2. Menstrual Regulation: It is also indicated to help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce the severity of menstrual cramps and other related symptoms.

Alesse belongs to a class of drugs known as combined oral contraceptives (COCs), which work by combining synthetic forms of estrogen and progestin to suppress ovulation and create an environment in the uterus that is less suitable for fertilization and implantation.

Alesse 21-day is taken orally, once a day, at the same time every day for 21 consecutive days, followed by 7 days without pills. Take the medication with food or at bedtime to prevent stomach upset.

Alesse 21-day comes in a pack of pills. Each pack contains 21 active pink pills (with hormones). Take 1 tablet daily for 21 days, then take no pills for 7 days, and then begin the next pack. Take the pills in the correct order and at the same time every day to maximize effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. Always follow your doctor’s instructions on when to start taking Alesse and use an additional form of contraception, such as condoms, during the first week of taking the medication to ensure protection against pregnancy.

If you miss a pill, take it as soon as you remember, even if it means taking two pills in one day.
