Overview

Loette Tablet contains Ethinylestradiol 20mcg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in a pack size of 21s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Loette Tablet should only be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation. Take one tablet at approximately the same time each day, following the sequence indicated on the blister pack, and continue for the full course as advised. Missing doses or taking tablets at inconsistent times can reduce contraceptive effectiveness, so consistent daily use is essential.

Your doctor will confirm the exact regimen and starting instructions appropriate for you.
