CONSUMER MEDICINE INFORMATION
What is in this leaflet
This leaflet answers some common questions about LENEST 20 ED. It does not contain all the available information. It does not take the place of talking to your doctor or pharmacist.
All medicines have benefits and risks. Your doctor has weighed the risks of you taking LENEST 20 ED against the benefits expected for you.
If you have any concerns, or are unsure about taking this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist for more advice.
Keep this leaflet with your medicine.
You may need to read it again.
What LENEST 20 ED is used for
LENEST 20 ED is a combined oral contraceptive, commonly known as ‘birth control pill’ or ‘the Pill’.
LENEST 20 ED is used to prevent pregnancy.
You may also experience the following benefits:
more regular and lighter periods – potentially resulting in a decrease in anaemia (iron deficiency)
a decrease in period pain.
Some conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy (where the foetus is carried outside of your womb), lumpy breasts, acne and cancer of the uterus (womb) and ovaries may be less common in women taking the Pill.
When taken correctly, LENEST 20 ED prevents you from becoming pregnant in several ways, including:
Inhibiting ovulation (egg release)
changing the cervical mucus consistency, making it more difficult for the sperm to reach the egg
changing the lining of the uterus, making it less suitable for implantation.
When the Pill is taken by women under close observation in clinical trials, it is more than 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. However, in real life the Pill is around 92% effective. This is because pills might have been missed, may have been taken with medicines that interfere with their effectiveness, or may not be absorbed due to vomiting or diarrhoea.
Like all oral contraceptives, LENEST 20 ED is intended to prevent pregnancy. It does not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why this medicine has been prescribed for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed it for another reason.
Before you take LENEST 20 ED
When you must not take it
Do not take LENEST 20 ED if you have an allergy to:
ethinylestradiol and/or levonorgestrel, the active ingredients in LENEST 20 ED
any of the ingredients listed at the end of this leaflet.
Some of the symptoms of an allergic reaction may include:
shortness of breath
wheezing or difficulty breathing
swelling of the face, lips, tongue or other parts of the body
rash, itching or hives on the skin
Do not take LENEST 20 ED if you have or have had a blood clot in:
the blood vessels of the legs (deep vein thrombosis – DVT)
the lungs (pulmonary embolism – PE)
the heart (heart attack)
the brain (stroke)
other parts of the body
Do not take LENEST 20 ED if you have or are concerned about an increased risk of blood clots.
Blood clots are rare. Very occasionally blood clots may cause serious permanent disabilities, or may even be fatal.
You are more at risk of having a blood clot when you take the Pill. However, the risk of having a blood clot when taking the Pill is less than the risk of having a blood clot during pregnancy.
Do not take LENEST 20 ED if you are concerned about an increased risk of blood clots because of age or smoking.
The risk of having a heart attack or stroke increases as you get older. It also increases if you smoke. You should stop smoking when taking the Pill, especially if you are older than 35 years of age.
Do not take LENEST 20 ED if you are taking any antiviral medicines which contain ombitasvir, paritaprevir and/or dasabuvir.
These antiviral medicines are used to treat chronic (long-term) hepatitis C (an infectious disease that affects the liver, caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV)).
Do not take LENEST 20 ED if you have, or have had:
any blood clotting disorders such as Protein C deficiency, Protein S deficiency, Leiden Factor V mutation, Antithrombin III deficiency or other inherited blood clotting conditions
a confirmed blood test showing:
increased levels of homocysteine
antiphospholipid antibodies (APLAs) e.g. anticardiolipin-antibodies and lupus anticoagulant. These may increase your risk for blood clots or pregnancy losses (miscarriage)
major surgery after which you have not been able to move around for a period of time
angina (chest pain)
mini-stroke (also known as TIA or transient ischaemic attack)
migraine, where you have also had problems with seeing, speaking or had weakness or numbness in any part of your body
high risk of blood clots due to conditions such as diabetes with blood vessel damage, severe high blood pressure or severe high or low level of fats in your blood
pancreatitis (an inflammation of the pancreas) associated with high levels of fatty substances in your blood
severe liver disease and your liver function has not returned to normal
cancer that may grow under the influence of sex hormones (e.g. of the breast or the genital organs)
benign or malignant liver tumour
unexplained vaginal bleeding.
If any of these conditions appear for the first time while using the Pill, stop taking it at once and tell your doctor. In the meantime use non-hormonal (barrier) methods of contraception (such as condoms or a diaphragm).
Do not take this medicine if you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant.
Do not give this medicine to a child.
LENEST 20 ED is not intended for use in females whose periods have not yet started.
Do not take this medicine after the expiry date printed on the pack and blister.
The expiry date is printed on the carton and on each blister after “EXP” (e.g. 11 18 refers to November 2018). The expiry date refers to the last day of that month. If it has expired return it to your pharmacist for disposal.
Do not take this medicine if the packaging is torn or shows signs of tampering.
If the packaging is damaged, return it to your pharmacist for disposal.
If you are not sure whether you should start taking this medicine, talk to your doctor.

These medicines may be affected by LENEST 20 ED or may affect how well it works. Your doctor may need to alter the dose of your medicine, or prescribe a different medicine.
You may need to use additional barrier methods of contraception (such as condoms or a diaphragm) while you are taking any of these medicines with LENEST 20 ED and for some time after stopping them.
Your doctor will be able to advise you about how long you will need to use additional contraceptive methods.
Your doctor and pharmacist have more information on medicines that you need to be careful with or avoid while taking this medicine.
How to take LENEST 20 ED
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and pharmacist carefully.
They may differ from the information contained in this leaflet.
If you do not understand the instructions on the pack, ask your doctor or pharmacist for help.
How to take it
Take one tablet daily at about the same time every day. You must take LENEST 20 ED every day regardless of how often you have sex. This will also help you remember when to take it.
Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
It does not matter if you take it before or after food.
Each blister pack is marked with the day of the week.
Take your first pink (active) tablet from the green area on the blister pack corresponding to the day of the week.
Follow the direction of the arrows on the blister pack until all the tablets have been taken.
A period should begin 2 to 3 days after starting to take the green inactive tablets (last row) and may not have finished before the next pack is started.
Always start a new blister pack on the same day of the week as your previous pack.
Taking LENEST 20 ED for the first time
If you are starting LENEST 20 ED after a natural cycle, and you have not used a hormonal contraceptive in the past month, start on the first day of your period, i.e. on the first day of your menstrual bleeding.
You may also start on days 2-5 of your period, but in that case make sure you also use additional barrier contraceptive precautions (e.g. condoms or a cap or diaphragm with spermicide) for the first 7 days of tablet-taking.
Your doctor will advise you when to start if you:
are taking LENEST 20 ED after having a baby
have had a miscarriage or an abortion
Changing from another contraceptive
1.Changing from a combined oral contraceptive:
Start taking LENEST 20 ED on the day after taking the last active tablet in your previous Pill pack. Bleeding may not occur until the end of the first pack of LENEST 20 ED.
You can also switch to LENEST 20 ED after taking one or more inactive tablets in your previous Pill pack, but no later than the day after taking the last inactive tablet.
If you are not sure which were the active/inactive tablets in your previous Pill pack, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Your previous Pill pack may have different colour tablets to those of LENEST 20 ED.
2.Changing from a vaginal ring:
Start taking LENEST 20 ED on the day of removal of the ring but at the latest when the next application would have been due.
3.Changing from a progestogen-only pill (‘minipill’):
Stop taking the minipill on any day and start taking LENEST 20 ED at the same time the day after your last minipill.
You must also use additional barrier contraceptive precautions (e.g. condoms or a diaphragm) for the first 7 days of tablet-taking when having intercourse.
4.Changing from a progestogen-only injection, implant or intrauterine system (IUS):
Start taking LENEST 20 ED when your next injection is due, or on the day that your implant or IUS is removed.
You must also use additional barrier contraceptive precautions (e.g. condoms or a diaphragm) for the first 7 days of tablet-taking when having intercourse.
Stopping LENEST 20 ED
You can stop taking LENEST 20 ED at any time. If you are considering becoming pregnant, it is recommended that you begin taking a vitamin supplement containing folic acid. It is best that you start taking folic acid tablets before you stop taking LENEST 20 ED and not stop until your doctor advises this. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about suitable supplements. It is both safe and recommended that you take folic acid during pregnancy.
Additional contraceptive precautions
When additional contraceptive precautions are required you should either abstain from sex, or use a barrier method of contraception, a cap (or diaphragm) plus spermicide, or a condom. Rhythm methods are not advised as the Pill disrupts the cyclical changes associated with the natural menstrual cycle e.g. changes in temperature and cervical mucus.
If you forget to take LENEST 20 ED
If you miss a tablet and take the missed tablet within 12 hours of missing it, you should still be protected against pregnancy.
If you are more than 12 hours late follow these detailed instructions:
For LENEST 20 ED to be most effective, pink active tablets need to be taken uninterrupted for 7 days.
If you have been taking the pink active tablets for 7 uninterrupted days and miss a pink active tablet, take the missed tablet as soon as you remember, then go back to taking your Pill as you would normally, even if this means taking two tablets in one day, at the same time.
You should still be protected against pregnancy.
The chance of pregnancy after missing a pink active tablet depends on when you missed the tablet. There is a higher risk of becoming pregnant if you miss a tablet at the beginning or end of a pack.
If after taking your missed tablet you have less than 7 days of pink active tablets left in a row, you should finish the active tablets in your pack but skip the green inactive tablets. Start taking the pink active tablets in your next pack corresponding to the correct day of the week.
This is the best way to maintain contraceptive protection. However, you may not have a period until the end of the pink active tablets of the second pack. You may have spotting or breakthrough bleeding on tablet-taking days.
If you have been taking the pink active tablets for less than 7 days and miss a pink active tablet, take the missed tablet as soon as you remember, then go back to taking your Pill as you would normally, even if this means taking two tablets in one day, at the same time. In addition, you must also use additional barrier contraceptive precautions (e.g. condoms or a diaphragm) for the next 7 days.
If you have had sexual intercourse in the preceding 7 days, there is a possibility of pregnancy and you may need emergency contraception. You should discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist.
If you forget to take more than one pink active tablet, seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist about what to do.
If you have had sexual intercourse in the week before missing your tablets, there is a possibility of becoming pregnant.
If you miss a green inactive tablet, you do not need to take them later because they do not contain any active ingredients.
However, it is important that you discard the missed green tablet(s) to make sure that the number of days between taking active tablets is not increased as this would increase the risk of pregnancy. Continue with the next tablet at the usual time.
Summary of advice if you missed a pink active tablet more than 12 hours ago:
Before missing your tablet, did you take pink active tablets for the previous 7 days?
NO – Did you have sex in the 7 days before missing the tablet?
NO – Take the tablet you missed AND use extra barrier precaution for 7 days. If there are fewer than 7 pink active tablets left in the pack, finish the pink active tablets and go straight to the pink active tablets of the next pack. This means you skip the green inactive tablets.
YES – See your doctor or pharmacist for advice
YES – Does your pack still have 7 active pink tablets in a row to follow?
NO – Take the tablet you missed AND complete taking the pink active tablets. Skip the green inactive tablets. Start your next pack with pink active tablets.
YES – Take the tablet you missed AND complete the pack as normal
Ask your doctor or pharmacist to answer any questions you may have.
If you take too much (overdose)
Immediately telephone your doctor or the Poisons Information Centre (Australia: 13 11 26) for advice, or go to the Accident and Emergency Department at your nearest hospital, if you think that you or anyone else may have taken too much LENEST 20 ED. Do this even if there are no signs of discomfort or poisoning.
You may need urgent medical attention.
While you are taking LENEST 20 ED
Things you must do
Tell any doctors, dentists and pharmacists who treat you that you are taking this medicine.
If you are about to have any blood tests, tell your doctor that you are taking this medicine.
It may interfere with the results of some tests.
Have regular check-ups with your doctor.
When you are taking the Pill, your doctor will tell you to return for regular check-ups, including getting a Cervical Screening Test (pap smear test). Your doctor will advise how often you need a Cervical Screening Test. A Cervical Screening Test can detect abnormal cells lining the cervix. Sometimes abnormal cells can progress to cancer.
If you are about to start on any new medicine, remind your doctor and pharmacist that you are taking LENEST 20 ED.
Stop taking LENEST 20 ED and see your doctor immediately if you notice the following signs:
one-sided swelling of the leg and/or foot or along a vein in the leg
pain or tenderness in the leg which may be felt only when standing or walking
increased warmth in the affected leg; red or discoloured skin on the leg
sudden onset of unexplained shortness of breath or rapid breathing
sudden coughing or coughing up of blood
sharp chest pain or sudden severe pain in the chest which may increase with deep breathing
severe light headedness or dizziness
rapid or irregular heartbeat
sudden pain, swelling and slight blue discoloration of an extremity
sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
sudden confusion, slurred speech or aphasia; sudden partial or complete loss of vision, double vision, painless blurring of vision which can progress to loss of vision
sudden, severe or prolonged headache with no known cause
loss of consciousness or fainting with or without seizure
pain, discomfort, pressure, heaviness, sensation of squeezing or fullness in the chest, arm, or below the breastbone
discomfort radiating to the back, jaw, throat, arm, stomach
feeling of being full, having indigestion or choking
sweating, nausea, vomiting
extreme weakness and anxiety.
If you are going to have surgery, tell the surgeon or anaesthetist beforehand that you are taking LENEST 20 ED.
The risk of having blood clots is temporarily increased as a result of major surgery, any surgery to the legs or pelvis, neurosurgery or major trauma. In women who take Lenest 20 ED, the risk may be higher.
In women at risk of prolonged immobilisation (including major surgery, any surgery to the legs or pelvis, neurosurgery, or major trauma), your doctor may tell you to stop taking LENEST 20 ED (in the case of elective surgery at least four weeks in advance) and not resume it until two weeks after complete remobilisation. Another method of contraception should be used to avoid unintentional pregnancy. Your doctor may prescribe other treatment (e.g. treatment for blood clots) if Lenest 20 ED has not been discontinued in advance.
Other risk factors for blood clotting include temporary immobilisation including air travel of greater than 4 hours, particularly in women with other risk factors.
Consult your doctor if you plan to air travel for greater than 4 hours.
Consult your doctor if you develop high blood pressure while taking LENEST 20 ED – you may be told to stop taking it.
If you become pregnant while taking this medicine, tell your doctor immediately.
If you vomit within 3-4 hours or have severe diarrhoea after taking a pink active tablet, the active ingredients may not have been completely absorbed. This is like missing a tablet. Follow the advice for missed tablets.
If you have unexpected bleeding and it continues, becomes heavy, or occurs again, tell you doctor.
When taking this Pill for the first few months, you can have irregular vaginal bleeding (spotting or breakthrough bleeding) between your periods. You may need to use sanitary products, but continue to take your tablets as normal. Irregular vaginal bleeding usually stops once your body has adjusted to the Pill, usually after about 3 months.
If you have missed a period, but you have taken all your tablets, it is very unlikely that you are pregnant, as long as:
you have taken the pink active tablets at the right time
you have not been taking a medicine(s) that may interfere with your Pill
you have not vomited or had severe diarrhoea during this cycle
If this is so, continue to take LENEST 20 ED as usual. If you have any concerns consult your doctor or pharmacist.
If you miss your period twice in a row, you may be pregnant, even if you have taken the Pill correctly. Stop taking LENEST 20 ED and seek advice from your doctor. You must use a non-hormonal method of contraception, (such as condoms or a diaphragm) until your doctor rules out pregnancy.
LENEST 20 ED will not protect you from HIV-AIDS or any other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhoea, hepatitis B, human papilloma virus and syphilis.
To protect yourself from STIs, you will need to use additional barrier contraceptives (e.g. condoms).
Things you must not do
Do not take LENEST 20 ED to treat any other complaints unless your doctor tells you to.
Do not give your medicine to anyone else.
Do not stop taking your medicine or change the dosage without checking with your doctor.
You may become pregnant if you are not using any other contraceptive and you stop taking LENEST 20 ED, or do not take a tablet every day.
Side effects
Tell your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible if you do not feel well while you are taking LENEST 20 ED.
This medicine helps most women, but it may have unwanted side effects in some women.
All medicines can have side effects. Sometimes they are serious, most of the time they are not. You may need medical attention if you get some of the side effects.
Do not be alarmed by the following lists of side effects. You may not experience any of them.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist to answer any questions you may have.
The following list includes the more common side effects of your Pill. These are usually mild and lessen with time.
If you notice any of the following side effects and they worry you, tell your doctor or pharmacist:
acne
nausea
stomach pain
changes in weight
headache, including migraines
mood changes, including depression
breast tenderness or pain
hair loss or hair growth
The following list includes very serious but rare side effects. You may need urgent medical attention or hospitalisation.
If you experience any of the following, tell your doctor immediately, or go to the Accident and Emergency Department at your nearest hospital:
pain in the chest, arm or below the breastbone
pain or discomfort that goes to your back
breathlessness and/or difficulty breathing
swelling, pain or tenderness of one leg
sudden weakness, numbness or bad ‘pins and needles’ of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
severe, sudden stomach pains
a fainting attack or you collapse
unusual headaches or migraines that are worse than usual
sudden problems with speaking, seeing or understanding what people are saying to you
The side effects listed above are possible signs of a blood clot (thrombosis).
jaundice (yellowing skin or yellowing eyes)
you cough up blood
breast lumps
unexplained vaginal bleeding.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you notice anything else that is making you feel unwell.
Other side effects not listed above may also occur in some people.
Blood clots and the Pill
Blood clots may block blood vessels in your body. This type of blood clot is also called thrombosis.
Blood clots sometimes occur in the deep veins of the legs (deep venous thrombosis – DVT). If a blood clot breaks away from the veins where it has formed, it may reach and block the blood vessels of the lungs, causing pulmonary embolism (PE).
Blood clots can also occur in the blood vessels of the heart (causing a heart attack) or the brain (causing a stroke).
Blood clots are a rare occurrence and can develop whether or not you are taking the Pill. They can also happen during pregnancy. The risk of having blood clots is higher in Pill users than in non-users, but not as high as during pregnancy.
The risk of a blood clot is highest during the first year of taking the Pill for the first time, or after having a break from the Pill for 4 weeks or more.
If you notice possible signs of a blood clot, stop taking LENEST 20 ED and consult your doctor immediately.
To prevent pregnancy, you must also use additional barrier contraceptive precautions (e.g. condoms or a diaphragm).
If you are concerned about an increased risk of blood clots while on LENEST 20 ED, speak to your doctor.
Cancer and the Pill
Breast cancer has been diagnosed slightly more often in women who take the Pill than in women of the same age who do not take the Pill.
This slight increase in the numbers of breast cancer diagnoses gradually disappears during the course of the 10 years after women stop taking the Pill.
It is not known whether the difference is caused by the Pill. It may be that these women were examined more often, so that the breast cancer was noticed earlier.
It is important that you check your breasts regularly and contact your doctor if you feel any lumps.
In rare cases benign liver tumours and, even more rarely, malignant liver tumours have been reported in users of the Pill. These tumours may lead to internal bleeding.
Contact your doctor immediately if you have severe pain in your abdomen.
Cervical cancer has been reported to occur more often in women who have been taking the Pill for a long time. This finding may not be caused by the Pill, but may be related to sexual behaviour and other factors.
After taking LENEST 20 ED
Storage
Keep your tablets in the blister pack until it is time to take them.
If you take the tablets out of the pack they may not keep well.
Keep your tablets in a cool dry place where the temperature stays below 25°C.
Do not store your tablets or any other medicine in the bathroom or near a sink, or on a window-sill. Do not leave medication in the car.
Heat and damp can destroy some medicines.
Keep LENEST 20 ED where children cannot reach it.
A locked cupboard at least one-and-a-half metres above the ground is a good place to store medicines.
