Description

Lovima

Lovima contains a synthetic form of progesterone, called desogestrel and is, therefore, known as a progestogen-only pill (POP) or the “mini-pill”. Desogestrel pills give women more flexibility as it provides effective protection against pregnancy even if taken up to 12 hours late. Mini pills are 99% effective when taken perfectly, and around 91% effective with typical use.**

Lovima is a good option for women who can’t take the combined pill.

Is Lovima safe to take?

Lovima has proven to be an effective and safe contraception. This is why it’s become one of the first contraceptive pills adult women can buy through pharmacies without the need for a prescription.

We’ll make sure the Lovima pill is safe for you to take. Simply answer a set of questions online when ordering and our pharmacist will review these to make sure Lovima is the right pill for you. A pharmacist may then get in touch with you to make sure you know how to take the pill safely and let you know of any possible side effects.

Lovima is available both online and in-store. You must be over 18 to buy Lovima online at LloydsPharmacy. If you’re under 18, please visit your local pharmacy, GP or family planning clinic to find out which contraceptive options are available to you.

How Lovima works

Lovima contains desogestrel, and works in the following ways to prevent pregnancy:

  • Prevents ovulation by stopping the egg from being released
  • Thickens your cervical mucus which makes it difficult for sperm to reach an egg (if one has been released)

What other contraceptive pills are available?

If Lovima isn’t right for you our Online Doctor service could help. They offer a range of contraceptive pills. Simply select your contraception, answer a few simple questions. If appropriate, one of the clinicians will approve the prescription and you can have it delivered or pick it up in your local LloydsPharmacy.

If you’re not sure what you need you can click ‘help me choose contraception’ and we’ll recommend you a range of contraceptive options to suit your needs. These recommendations will be based on your preferences, medical history and any side effects you’ve had in the past when using other contraceptives.
