Description

What is Lovina?

Lovima is one of the oral contraceptives you can use to prevent pregnancy. It has desogestrel as its active ingredient. Desogestrel is a synthetic version of progesterone, which is why this pill is also referred to as progesterone-only pill (POP). Lovima is the best option for women who don’t prefer taking combined oral contraceptive pills – those that contain oeastrogens. Lovima is a more flexible option as it offers protection against pregnancy even if used 12 hours late.

How Does Lovima Work?

The active ingredient in Lovima, Desogestrel, copies how progesterone works, thus prevents pregnancy. The pill works by thickening a woman’s cervical mucus, subsequently stopping the penetration of sperms into the uterus.
