Elevin is a combined contraceptive pill that’s used to prevent pregnancy. Each tablet contains a small amount of two different female hormones, levonorgestrel and ethinylestradiol. The contraceptive pill will not protect you against sexually transmitted diseases (STIs); to prevent both pregnancy and STIs, it’s advised that you wear a condom.

 

Directions

Always take Elevin tablets exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Take one Elevin tablet every day, if necessary with a small amount of water. You may take the tablets with or without food, but you should take the tablets every day around the same time. The strip contains 21 tablets. Next to each tablet is printed the day of the week that it should be taken. If, for example, you start on a Wednesday, take a tablet with "WED'' next to it. Follow the direction of the arrow on the strip until all 21 tablets have been taken. Then take no tablets for 7 days. 

 

In the course of these 7 tablet-free days (otherwise called a stop or gap week) bleeding should begin. This so-called "withdrawal bleeding" usually starts on the 2nd or 3rd day of the gap week. On the 8th day after the last Elevin tablet (that is, after the 7-day gap week), you should start with the following strip, whether your bleeding has stopped or not. This means that you should start every strip on the same day of the week and that the withdrawal bleed should occur on the same days each month. If you use Elevin tablets in this manner, you are also protected against pregnancy also during the 7 days when you are not taking a tablet.
