Drug Details
Twirla is a once-weekly contraceptive patch designed to prevent pregnancy. It contains two hormones: levonorgestrel (a progestin) and ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen). This combination works to prevent pregnancy by regulating hormonal activity. Twirla is suitable for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) under 30 kg/m². The application involves placing a new patch on the skin weekly for three weeks, followed by a week without a patch, and then repeating the cycle. In addition to preventing pregnancy, the patch can help make menstrual cycles more regular, reduce menstrual bleeding and pain, and lower the risk of ovarian cysts. It is important to note that Twirla does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, so using a barrier method like condoms is recommended for STI prevention. Potential side effects include skin irritation at the application site and nausea. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
