Aurovela 1.5/30 is typically taken once daily. It is important to take the pill at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness. Here is a general guide on how to use it:

Starting the Pill: Begin taking one active tablet (containing hormones) on the first day of your menstrual cycle (first day of bleeding). Alternatively, you can start on any other day, but you should use an additional form of contraception (such as condoms) for the first 7 days.

Taking the Pills Continue taking one active pill a day for 21 days. Once you have taken all of your active pills, you’ll take one placebo pill daily for the next 7 days. This placebo week enables you to have a withdrawal bleed, a period-like bleeding.

Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take the missed pill as soon as you remember. If you miss more than one dose, follow the instructions on the packaging or consult your healthcare provider. Missing doses can reduce the effectiveness of the birth control, and backup contraception may be necessary.

Aurovela 1.5/30 majorly work through the following mechanism:

Prevention of Ovulation: The hormones in Aurovela 1.5/30 stop the ovaries from releasing eggs. Without ovulation, pregnancy cannot occur.

Thickening of Cervical Mucus: Levonorgestrel thickens the mucus in the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus and fertilize an egg.

Thinning the Uterine Lining: The medication also makes the lining of the uterus thinner, reducing the likelihood of implantation if fertilization were to occur.

By acting on these three mechanisms, Aurovela 1.5/30 effectively prevents pregnancy.
