FDA Approves Levlite Low-Dose Oral Contraceptive, July 14, 1998, Doctor's Guide:"In multicentre clinical trials, Levlite was proven to have a safety and efficacy profile like the higher-dose levonorgestrel OCs that have been marketed in the U.S. for more than 20 years. In addition to proven contraceptive efficacy, there is a low potential for hormone-related side effects with this new low-dose product. Levlite will be packaged in a convenient, easy-to-use calendar pack."
http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/8e75e.htm

******************************************************

Levlite, Who is this for, Drug Diogest:"This medication is used to prevent pregnancy or to regulate your menstrual cycle. Oral contraceptive products such as ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel (also called birth control pills) are more effective than any other method of contraception, but they are not effective in preventing the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases."
http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/DVH/Uses/0,3915,6435%7CLevlite,00.html

******************************************************

Levlite, Description, Drugs.com:"Other commonly used names are Ethinylestradiol and Ethinyloestradiol Ethinyl estradiol ; Ethynodiol , Etynodiol , and Etynodiol acetate Ethynodiol diacetate ; and Norethindrone Norethisterone . Combination estrogen-progestin oral contraceptives are indicated for the prevention of pregnancy."
http://www.drugs.com/xq/cfm/pageID_0/brand_Levlite/qx/

******************************************************

Levlite (28), Common Uses, DrugStore.com:"This medicine is an estrogen and progestin combination used to prevent pregnancy. It may also be used to regulate the menstrual cycle, treat symptoms of menopause, or treat other conditions as determined by your doctor."
http://www.drugstore.com/pharmacy/prices/drugprice.asp?ndc=50419040803&trx=1Z5006

******************************************************

Levlite, Most important fact about this drug, Health Square:"Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious heart-related side effects (stroke, heart attack, blood clots, etc.) in women who use oral contraceptives. This risk increases with heavy smoking (15 or more cigarettes per day) and with age. There is an especially significant increase in heart disease risk in women over 35 years old who smoke and use oral contraceptives."
http://www.healthsquare.com/newrx/cx1310t.htm

******************************************************

Levlite®, What is this medicine used for, Life-Span:"This medicine is commonly used to prevent pregnancy. It can also protect against pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. Other uses include treatment of acne in girls older than 15; treatment of endometriosis, painful periods, unusual uterine bleeding, and female hypogonadism."
http://www.healthtrust.com/intmed/Access2Cons2/ConsDrugs/DrugCats/Birthcontrolmedications_brandname.shtml

******************************************************

Levlite, Special warnings about this medication, Physician's Choice:"Oral contraceptives should be used with caution if you are over 40 years old; smoke tobacco; have liver, heart, gallbladder, kidney, or thyroid disease; have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, epilepsy, asthma, or porphyria (a blood disorder); or tend to be seriously overweight. Caution is also advised if you have blood circulation problems or have had a heart attack or stroke in the past. Be cautious, too, if you have problems with depression, migraine or other headaches, irregular menstrual periods, or visual disturbances."
http://linkfriendly.com/physicians.choice/levlite.htm

******************************************************

Levlite, Why is this drug prescribed, PDR.com:"Oral contraceptives (also known as "The Pill") are highly effective means of preventing pregnancy. Oral contraceptives consist of synthetic forms of two hormones produced naturally in the body: either progestin alone or estrogen and progestin. Estrogen and progestin regulate a woman's menstrual cycle, and the fluctuating levels of these hormones play an essential role in fertility."
http://www.gettingwell.com/drug_info/rxdrugprofiles/drugs/CX1310T.shtml

******************************************************

LEVLITE™, Of Note, WomensHealthInTheNews.net:"The results of a recent clinical trial found that 75% of patients taking the low-dose, 20-microgram pill, LEVLITE™ (levonorgestrel 0.100 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.020 mg tablets, USP) had minimal changes in weight (median weight remained constant at 62.0 kg/136.4 lbs; mean weight changed slightly from 62.8 kg at baseline to 63.0 kg at the end of the 6 month study). LEVLITE™ combines dose reduction with effective contraception, excellent cycle control, safety and tolerability. LEVLITE™ contains the lowest available hormonal dose in a combination OC containing levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol."
http://www.womenshealthinthenews.net/issue5_1_2000.html

******************************************************

Levlite™, WomensLifeStages.com:"Experts recommend that women take the lowest possible dose of the pill that effectively prevents pregnancy and has an acceptable side effect profile. Levlite™ is a low-dose pill that contains a form of estrogen and progestin that doctors have trusted for years. Levlite™ contains one-third less of these hormones than older birth control pills that contain the same ingredients. Levlite™ is also safe and very effective when used as directed—you’ll get protection you can depend on at the lowest available dose. In fact, clinical studies with more than 1,500 women showed Levlite™ to be effective and well tolerated—and it was just as effective as other oral contraceptives (OCs). http://www.womenslifestages.com/d_1_products.html
