Description

Qlaira

Qlaira is a combined oral
contraceptive, commonly known
as a ‘birth control pill’ or ‘the
Pill’.
Qlaira is used to prevent
pregnancy. It is also used for the
treatment of heavy and/or
prolonged menstrual bleeding
(not caused by any underlying
disease) in women who wish to
use oral contraception.
While taking Qlaira you may also
experience the following
benefits:
• More regular and lighter
periods – potentially resulting
in a decrease in anaemia (iron
deficiency)
• a decrease in period pain
Some conditions such as pelvic
inflammatory disease, ovarian
cysts, ectopic pregnancy (where
the foetus is carried outside of
your womb), lumpy breasts and
cancer of the uterus (womb) and
ovaries may be less common in
women taking Qlaira.
Qlaira contains two female sex
hormones called estradiol
valerate (an estrogen) and
dienogest (a progestogen).
The estrogen in Qlaira (estradiol
valerate) is broken down in the
body into a hormone called 17βestradiol, which is identical to the
natural estrogen produced by the
female body. The estrogen in
Qlaira is therefore different from
the synthetic estrogen (known as
ethinylestradiol) usually used in
other forms of the Pill.
When taken correctly, Qlaira
prevents you from
becoming pregnant by:
• inhibiting ovulation (egg
release)
• changing the cervical mucus
consistency, making it more
difficult for the sperm to
reach the egg
• changing the lining of the
uterus, making it less suitable
for implantation.
When the Pill is taken by women
under close observation in
clinical trials, it is more than 99%
effective in preventing
pregnancy. However, in real life
the Pill is around 92% effective.
This is because pills might be
missed, or taken with medicines
that may interfere with their
effectiveness, or may not be
absorbed due to vomiting and
diarrhoea.
Like all oral contraceptives,
Qlaira is intended to prevent
pregnancy. It does not protect
against HIV infection (AIDS)
and other sexually transmitted
infections.
Ask your doctor if you have
any questions about why this
medicine has been prescribed
for you.
Your doctor may have prescribed
it for another reason.
