What is Loseasonique

EthinylestradiolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryEthinylestradiol was created in 1938 by Hans Herloff Inhoffen and Walter Hohlweg at Schering. It was designed to have a higher absorption rate than other estrogens, which was achieved by adding an ethinyl group to estradiol. Ethinylestradiol is commonly used in birth control pills and was approved by the FDA in 1943.

Effectiveness

How Loseasonique Affects PatientsEthinylestradiol is a synthetic form of the female hormone estrogen. It works by reducing the hormones responsible for ovulation and endometrial vascularization. This drug is taken once a day and is generally safe, though patients should be aware of the risk of blood clots.
How Loseasonique works in the bodyEthinylestradiol is a synthetic estrogen that is often used in oral contraceptives. The hormone suppresses ovulation by blocking gonadotrophic hormones. It also thickens the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to pass through, and prevents changes necessary to implant a fertilized egg. Ethinylestradiol also decreases luteinizing hormone and increases sex hormone binding globulin, which helps reduce bone density.

Loseasonique Reviews: What are patients saying about Loseasonique?

4.7Patient Review
1/30/2012
Loseasonique for Birth Control
I found this medication to be much more enjoyable than other birth control pills I've taken in the past. One of the main reasons is that it didn't cause any negative mood changes like previous pills have. Additionally, there was no weight gain, and I even lost a few pounds. The only downside is that it's quite expensive.

Loseasonique for Endometriosis
I started this treatment for endometriosis and longer-than-normal periods. Unfortunately, this medication resulted in me having a three-week period EVERY month. I stopped taking it because the nausea was more than I could handle. Additionally, I gained 5lbs from this which is more compared to other types of birth control.

Loseasonique for Birth Control
I've been using this for the first time and I'm not thrilled. I was spotting almost every day for the first two months, which defeats the purpose of only having a period every 3 months. Time to try something new, I think.

Loseasonique for Disease of Ovaries with Cysts
This birth control has been terrible for me. I've been spotting nonstop for two months, have gained weight, my skin is awful, and my breasts are constantly sore. Thankfully, I only have to endure one more week on this before switching to something else.

Patient Q&A Section about loseasonique

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the difference between Seasonique and LoSeasonique?

"Loseasonique contains the same active ingredients as Seasonique, but in lower doses. It contains levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol 0.1 mg/20 mcg for 84 pills."

Answered by AI

Does LoSeasonique cause weight gain?

"While some women worry about weight gain when taking LoSeasonique and other birth control pills, it is mostly water retention (and not actual fat) that is to blame."

Answered by AI

What is LoSeasonique used for?

"LoSeasonique is a combination drug that contains female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medication also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. LoSeasonique is used as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy."

Answered by AI

Is there a generic for LoSeasonique?

"Watson's levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol product is a generic version of Teva's LoSeasonique.This product is used as a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy."

Lidocaine for Pain Control in Birth Control

18 - 50
Female
La Jolla, CA
The goal of this research study is to learn more about how different uses of a numbing medication might affect pain levels while getting an IUD placed. The investigators are also studying participants opinions of their clinicians' empathy. The investigators are inviting patients who arrive at their clinic visit seeking an IUD. Usually, at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), for patients who have never delivered a baby, clinicians use a buffered paracervical block for before IUD placement. The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether a "buffered" (2 cc of sodium bicarbonate, 18 cc of 1% lidocaine) paracervical block (numbing medication given on both sides of the cervix) is effective in reducing pain during IUD placement in individuals with prior C-sections, the difference between buffered and unbuffered for nulliparous patients, and whether a medicated gel reduces pain with the paracervical block.

Del Mar, CA
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if use of the HAPPI software can improve pharmacist-provided birth control services. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the HAPPI software make it easier for pharmacists to provide birth control services in their pharmacy? 2. Does the HAPPI software make it easier for patients to access birth control? Researchers will compare pharmacists' implementation and patients' access when using the HAPPI software and when not using the HAPPI software to see if the software improves implementation and access. Participants will include pharmacists and patients. Pharmacists will be asked to provide birth control services as normal while using the HAPPI software. Patients will be asked to receive birth control services from a pharmacist as normal, while using the HAPPI software.

Electronic Health Record Platform for Birth Control

18 - 51
Female
Calabasas, CA
Hormonal contraceptives are medications that require a prescription, traditionally from a physician or advanced practice provider. Over the past decade, pharmacists have gained the authority to prescribe contraceptives in many states, allowing patients to access these medications directly in pharmacies without first seeing another healthcare provider. The Pharmacist Resource to Implement Services as Modules (PRISM) is an Electronic Health Record platform designed to streamline workflows and provide clinical decision support, making it easier and safer to deliver clinical services in community pharmacies. This pilot study will evaluate patient-reported outcomes for women receiving contraceptive services from pharmacists using the PRISM platform at five community pharmacies across the United States over a 12-week period. The study will assess the quality of care, contraception continuation and failure rates, side effect rates, preventative healthcare utilization, and overall patient experience with pharmacy contraceptive services.

PEN-3 Intervention for Postpartum Depression

18 - 45
Female
Jackson, MS
Maternal mortality in the United States is higher than in peer nations and has not decreased since 1990. Beyond mortality, severe maternal mortality impacts far too many women. Not only are these high rates alarming, but notable racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities exist. These inequities are highly regional, with women living in the rural southeast part of the United States, including the Mississippi Delta, having the highest rates of maternal mortality and morbidity. Unfortunately, these disparities have proven to be stubbornly resistant to interventions, necessitating an innovative multifaceted approach focused on community practice, building trust, and prioritizing patient voices. To meet this need, this proposal aims to establish the Mississippi Delta Research Center of Excellence for Maternal Health with the goal of addressing preventable maternal mortality, decreasing severe maternal morbidity, and promoting maternal health equity in partnership with the Mississippi Delta community. This patient-clinical linkages intervention study will evaluate the effectiveness of a multilevel and multisector communication and health literacy strategy to increase trust and engagement in postpartum healthcare among women in the Mississippi Delta, with a specific focus on Black women, their families, and their communities. These research projects both have the overarching goal of partnering with the community to determine and meet the needs of pregnant and postpartum women in the Mississippi Delta and address the disparities within maternity health and health care outcomes.

Birth Control Pills and DNA Interaction

18 - 45
Female
Aurora, CO
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate how differences in specific parts of our DNA can influence how individual bodies break down the hormones contained within oral contraceptive pills, which could affect how well these birth control pills work to prevent pregnancy. The investigators are also interested in exploring how these differences in our DNA can also explain why patients taking the exact same formulation of birth control pill will experience very different side effects. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do individuals with the CYP3A7\*1C variant have increased metabolism of both desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol when taking a combined oral contraceptive pill? * Do individuals with the CYP3A7\*1C variant experience higher rates of breakthrough ovulation while taking a desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol combined oral contraceptive pill? * What novel genetic loci are associated with alterations in steroid hormone pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics among a larger cohort of combined oral contraceptive pill users? Participants will take a specific formulation of combined oral contraceptive pill (desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol) and undergo the following procedures: * Blood draw to measure the amount of progestin and estrogen in their system from the combined oral contraceptive pill * Questionnaires to assess side effects possibly caused by the combined oral contraceptive pill * Blood draw to measure endogenous hormone levels and biomarkers that may be affected by the combined oral contraceptive pill * A transvaginal ultrasound to measure any ovarian follicles (optional procedure)

All Sexes
Boston, MA
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of evidence-based Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) among adult patients who screen positive to one or more risky alcohol or substance use behaviors while seeking care at a sexual and reproductive health (SRH) clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does SBIRT impact patients' alcohol and substance use, SRH, mental health, physical health, quality of life, and wellbeing? * Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, gender, and urbanicity? * Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by delivery mode (in-person vs. telemedicine)? Participants will receive in-person and telemedicine SBIRT, or usual care. Participants will complete surveys at interviews at baseline, 30 days, and 3 months. Researchers will compare patients who received SBIRT to patients who receive usual care to see if patients who receive the SBIRT intervention have a greater reduction in negative outcomes as compared to those who receive usual care. In this setting, usual care consists of basic quantity and frequency questions asked inconsistently as part of the admission process and varying by provider, with no standardized approach to screening, treatment, follow-up, or referral.

Progestin Contraceptives for Birth Control Effects

18 - 40
Female
Portland, OR
The purpose of the study is to learn more about menstrual changes in progestin contraception users. The investigators are hoping to find out what changes in the endometrium lead to different bleeding patterns during the first year of progestin contraception use. Participants will choose to receive the contraceptive implant (Etonogestrel implant also called Nexplanon) or the contraceptive injectable (Depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) also called Depo-Provera) for up to 12 months. They will be asked to have 4 endometrial biopsies over the course of the study, as well as blood draws, physical exams, and pregnancy tests. Participants will also use a daily text message or email diary to report bleeding patterns. This study's plan is to comprehensively phenotype bleeding patterns and profile the entire endometrium using single-cell RNA seq data (sCRNAseq).
