How Does Loette 0.10 + 0.02?  

Loette 0.10 Mg + 0.02 Mg Tablets is a contraceptive pill. It reduces the chances of pregnancy by suppressing ovulation (release of a mature egg from ovary). It can also reduce the thickness of the inner lining of uterus which makes it not suitable for the foetus to implant and grow.

Additionally, it can alter the thickness of the cervical mucus which makes it difficult for the sperm to enter the uterus and fertilize the egg. As a result, they create an unfavorable environment for a successful pregnancy.

It can also reduce the production of male sex hormones (testosterone) in the body. This helps in reducing excess oil production in the skin which in turn reduces hormonal acne.
