What is Jolessa?
Jolessa is a prescription birth control pill for women. It delivers two naturally-occurring hormones: ethinyl estradiol, an estrogen, and levonorgestrel, a progestin. Taken together, these hormones prevent ovulation, the monthly release of an egg from the ovaries. Jolessa also alters the linings of both the cervix and uterus. Because of this, sperm has difficulty traveling along these linings and a fertilized egg has difficulty implanting on the uterine wall.
Jolessa is an “extended” oral contraceptive, that is, it delays menstruation for three months and is taken over a 91-day sequence. The final 7 tablets taken at the end of the menstrual cycle, however, are placebos.
What are the side effects of Jolessa?
Common side effects of Jolessa include but are not limited to bloating, swelling, menstrual changes, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, headache, breast tenderness, and vaginal itching and discharge. Allergic reactions to Jolessa are extremely rare but include rashes and hives. Mood changes are often reported: mood swings, depression, and decreased sex drive.
Nursing mothers should avoid Jolessa because estrogens, besides decreasing breast milk, pass into the milk and affect the development of the infant.
