Linessa is a combination pill that contains desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol. It is primarily used for the prevention of pregnancy. 

The medication works by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary) and causing changes in the cervical mucus that make it difficult for sperm to penetrate and for an egg to implant. 

Linessa is available in different formulations, such as Linessa 21 and Linessa 28, which consist of different dosing phases over a 21-day or 28-day treatment cycle

Do’s

  • Take Linessa exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, usually once daily at the same time each day.
  • Swallow the tablets whole with or without food.
  • Follow the instructions on the pill pack carefully, taking one pill each day for 21 days, then having a 7-day pill-free period where you will likely experience your period.
  • If you miss a pill, follow the specific instructions in the pill pack or consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
  • Maintain a consistent schedule to maximize the effectiveness of Linessa.
  • Tell your healthcare provider about all medications and herbal products you take, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as some can interact with Linessa.
  • Inform your healthcare provider about your medical history, especially if you have a history of blood clots, migraines, high blood pressure, or certain cancers.
  • Use a backup method of birth control (like condoms or spermicide) during the first week of taking Linessa or if you miss pills, to prevent pregnancy.

  • Don't take more or less Linessa than prescribed by your healthcare provider.
  • Don't take Linessa if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or suspect you might be pregnant.
