Jolivette Information:

• What

What is Jolivette?

Jolivette is a low-dose, progestin-only hormonal contraceptive that contains a form of progestin called norethindrone. Unlike regular combination birth control pills, Jolivette doesn’t inhibit ovulation in everyone. It only stops ovulation in approximately half of users; however, it does thicken cervical mucous, slows the movement of the egg, and changes the endometrial lining, thus preventing pregnancy. If this contraceptive is used perfectly according to instructions, it is 99.5% effective. On average, it is 95% effective.

• How

How do I take Jolivette?

In order to prevent pregnancy, it is very important to take Jolivette pills at the same time every day. Pick a time of day that is easiest for you to remember. It is best to start your firs pack of Jolivette on the first day of your period. If you are switching to Jolivette from a regular birth control, start the pack of Jolivette after you take the last active pill in the pack. Continue to take one pill per day until the pack is finished, then start a new pack.
