Loryna pill 🇺🇸

Like all combined pills, Loryna can improve acne in some women.

This is unlikely in a combined pill like Loryna, although everyone is different. The progestogen in hormonal contraceptives has the ability to be androgenic and may cause hair loss as a result, however the oestrogen in combined methods can have the benefits of improving hair thickness. Hair loss can be due to a number of causes, so it's best to speak to your doctor if you're experiencing this. Be sure to also read our full guide on hair loss and birth control pills for more information.

Depending on where you are in your cycle when you start taking the pill, you might not be protected against pregnancy straight away. Find out more in this guide to the combined pill.

There's no clear evidence that using a combined pill like Loryna causes weight gain (or loss).

Loryna birth control is a combined pill that is taken daily to prevent pregnancy. It stops ovulation and makes the fluid in your cervix thicker (which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb). The combined pill also prevents the lining of your womb from thickening enough for a fertilised egg to implant into it. As a combined pill Loryna is around 93% effective with typical use, which means that 7 in 100 women fall pregnant whilst taking it each year. Find out more about how clinical effectiveness is determined. There are a few things that can stop the combined pill from working properly including vomiting, some antibiotics, or missing a pill. Take a look at our complete guide to the combined pill to find out more. You can also use our Missed pill calculator to help you understand what to do if you miss a pill.

You should take your Loryna pill around the same time every day. We recommend keeping your pill packet somewhere you look at everyday (like your makeup bag) to remind you to take it, or set an alarm on your phone. Loryna comes in a pack of 28 tablets with a 4 day break built in as placebo tablets, during which you may experience a withdrawal bleed (like a period). If you want to, you can choose to miss out this break altogether by omitting the placebo pills and starting a new pack straight away (check out our blog on taking your pill back to back ). Depending on where you are in your cycle when you start the pill, you might not be protected against pregnancy straight away. Check out our blog about the combined pill for more info. Coming off Loryna is easy - you just stop taking it. When you do, you're no longer protected from pregnancy. If you want to stop the pill but do not wish to become pregnant then you should complete your current packet before stopping and consider switching to another form of contraception.
