Generic Alesse Information

Introduction

Alesse is a combined oral contraceptive (COC) that contains the synthetic hormones levonorgestrel (a progestogen) and ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen). It is approved for preventing pregnancy and is widely prescribed in Hong Kong for menstrual cycle regulation and certain gynecological conditions. The product is marketed by Wyeth, a subsidiary of Pfizer, and belongs to the birth‑control medication group. In addition to contraception, clinicians sometimes use Alesse to manage dysmenorrhea, acne related to hormonal imbalance, and endometriosis‑associated pain.

What is Alesse?

Alesse is a fixed‑dose combination of levonorgestrel .075 mg and ethinyl estradiol .02 mg per tablet. It is classified as a combined oral contraceptive pill (COC). The formulation was developed in the United States and introduced in the early 200+ s. Wyeth (Pfizer) holds the marketing rights for Alesse in most regions, including Hong Kong. The product is supplied in blister packs containing 21 active tablets followed by 7 placebo tablets, providing a 28‑day cycle.

How Alesse Works

The estrogen component (ethinyl estradiol) stabilizes the endometrial lining and suppresses the secretion of follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH). The progestogen (levonorgestrel) thickens cervical mucus, making sperm penetration difficult, and inhibits ovulation by suppressing luteinizing hormone (LH) surge. Together, these actions prevent the release of an egg and create an environment unfavorable for fertilisation. Therapeutic effect begins after the first tablet if taken correctly; full contraceptive efficacy is achieved after seven consecutive days of active dosing.

Conditions Treated with Alesse

• Contraception (primary indication). Prevents pregnancy with a typical failure rate of <1 % when used perfectly.
• Menstrual cycle regulation. Provides regular 28‑day bleeding patterns, reducing unpredictable bleeding.
• Management of dysmenorrhea. Hormonal suppression lessens uterine muscle contractions.
• Acne related to androgen excess. Levonorgestrel’s anti‑androgenic activity decreases sebum production.
• Mild endometriosis‑associated pelvic pain. Hormonal suppression reduces ectopic endometrial tissue activity.

In Hong Kong, the prevalence of unintended pregnancy remains significant, and COCs like Alesse are a cornerstone of the public health strategy for family planning. The additional non‑contraceptive benefits address common dermatologic and gynecologic complaints among women of reproductive age.

Patient Groups Most Likely to Benefit

• Women aged 18–45 years seeking reliable reversible contraception.
• Patients with regular menstrual cycles who desire predictable bleeding.
• Individuals with hormonally driven acne refractory to topical therapy.
• Women diagnosed with mild endometriosis who prefer medical over surgical management.

Contra‑indications include current or history of thromboembolic disease, estrogen‑dependent tumors, uncontrolled hypertension, active liver disease, and known hypersensitivity to either component. Smoking ≥15 cigarettes per day in women over 35 years also precludes use because of increased cardiovascular risk.

Risks, Side Effects, and Interactions

Common

• Nausea, breast tenderness, headache, and mild weight gain.
• Intermenstrual spotting or breakthrough bleeding, especially during the first three cycles.
• Mood changes, such as irritability or mild depressive symptoms.

Rare

• Hyperpigmentation of the skin (melasma).
• Elevated liver enzymes; rare cases of cholestatic hepatitis.
• Decrease in serum potassium (hypokalemia) in patients on concurrent diuretics.

Serious

• Venous thromboembolism (deep‑vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism).
• Arterial thrombotic events (stroke, myocardial infarction).
• Hypertensive crisis in patients with uncontrolled blood pressure.

Drug–drug interactions

• CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, St John’s wort) increase metabolism of ethinyl estradiol, reducing contraceptive efficacy.
• Antiretroviral agents (e.g., efavirenz) may lower plasma hormone levels; alternative or backup contraception is advised.
• Antibiotics such as rifampin, not the broad category of tetracyclinescent antibiotics, can diminish effectiveness.
• Antifungal agents (ketoconazole) and protease inhibitors may increase estrogen levels, heightening risk of thromboembolism.

Patients should disclose all prescription, over‑the‑counter, and herbal products to their prescriber.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

• Standard regimen: One tablet daily at the same time for 21 consecutive days, followed by 7 placebo tablets (or a 7‑day pill‑free interval).
• Missed dose (≤24 h) – Take the missed tablet as soon as remembered; continue with the next tablet at the usual time; no additional contraception needed.
• Missed dose (>24 h) – Take the most recent missed tablet immediately, discard any other missed tablets, and use a backup method (condom) for the next 7 days.
• Overdose – Unlikely to be life‑threatening. Mild nausea or vomiting may occur. Seek medical attention if severe symptoms (e.g., chest pain, severe headache, visual disturbances) appear.
• Precautions – Food does not affect absorption; however, excessive alcohol may increase migraine‑type headaches. Use caution in patients with diabetes, thyroid disorders, or migraines with aura; monitor blood pressure regularly.

• Are there differences between US and EU formulations of levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol?
  Minor variations exist in inactive excipients (e.g., tablet coating agents). The active ingredient amounts are identical, ensuring comparable efficacy and safety across regions.

• Can Alesse be combined with a copper IUD for added protection?
  Yes, using a copper intrauterine device alongside Alesse provides dual contraception, which may be advisable for patients at high risk of pregnancy due to missed doses.
