Qlaira Tablets, a daily combination contraceptive pill, changes your hormone levels throughout your cycle. It's 99 percent effective when taken correctly.
Qlaira is a combined oral contraceptive pill that is taken to prevent pregnancy, and can also be used to treat painful and heavy periods.
Qlaira pills contain lab made forms of two naturally occurring hormones in the body, which are:
- oestrogen (estradiol valerate)
- progesterone (dienogest)
Unlike some contraceptive pills, each Qlaira pill does not contain the same amount of progesterone and oestrogen. This means the dose in each pill changes during the month. Qlaira is a quadriphasic pill, which means there are 4 hormone doses over a cycle. Each coloured pill contains either estradiol valerate alone or both estradiol valerate and dienogest hormones, in slightly different doses.
