What is Lybrel?
Lybrel is a new revolution in the field of oral contraceptive pills. Since it was released in 2007 and other companies began to release other generic lybrel products containing the same ingredients. Also we should mention that in the United States they forbid these generic lybrel products from entering the country because the original lybrel holds patent rights till the year 2018.
What is lybrel and how it works?
Lybrel is a combination non cyclic oral contraceptive, which means that this drug is not taken in cycles with rest period in between but you will take it 365 days a year. The good thing for women here is that during this whole year you will not have a period at all. The whole year long will be like a single extended period.
Lybrel and generic lybrel pills work in identical way, they prevent the ovaries from making new ova or what is known by ovulation by supplying the body with adequate amounts or estrogen and progesterone, enough to seize the ovulation process.
Every pill contains 90 micro grams of levonorgestrel and 20 micro grams of ethinyl estradiol. The former is synthetic progesterone and the latter is synthetic estrogen, both of these hormones are induced normally in case of pregnancy.
When Lybrel supply these hormones synthetically we will convince the body that there is pregnancy right now in the uterus and the ovaries do not need to produce more ova. This is a very simple explanation for what happened when you take lybrel and how do your body react.
Lybrel is approved from the FDA (the US food and drug administration) to be used for controlling birth and preventing pregnancy it may also be used to get rid of period for the whole year.
The only precaution that you have to take care of when you buy a whole year supply from lybrel is that you must preserve it in a dry light proof and cool place. Do not store your lybrel in the bathroom where the moisture could destruct the effectiveness of the pills.
Any pills that contain hormones should be stored away from the light; the pills should not be taken out of the strip or the container unless you are ready to take it directly.
Is it safe to take Lybrel pills for a year long without rest?
Competitor companies which sell other types of oral pills claim that long administration of the pill is not good and should be replaced with the cyclic pills where there is menstruation occurs every month. For those we say, any type of pills is considered a modification in the menstrual cycle of the women, whether these pills are cyclic or non – cyclic the menstruation is modified into none changing 28 day cycles. The clinical studies explained that women accepted the pills with a monthly period just to make sure that they are not pregnant but now with women working in physically demanding jobs and fast paced life, the need for eliminating the period is larger.
