Lindinet 20 is available in the form of round tablets, slightly convex at the edges, which are coated with a protective coating. The drug has a light yellow color. The tablets are packaged in blisters made of plastic and foil. Each cassette contains 21 tablets.

The main packaging of contraceptives is a cardboard box, inside of which there are 1 or 3 blisters with tablets. According to reviews from women who have used Lindinet 20, the formulation of the drug is convenient for daily use.

The table below details the constituent substances of the drug, and also describes their intended purpose in an oral contraceptive:

In combination, all of the above main and auxiliary substances of the drug Lindinet 20 provide a potent contraceptive effect. The components of the oral contraceptive do not have toxic or mutagenic properties.

pharmachologic effect

Lindinet belongs to the group of monophasic combined oral contraceptive drugs based on sex hormones , and accordingly is used primarily for the purpose of contraception. The main therapeutic effect of the drug is associated with several mechanisms of action, including a decrease in the secretion of pituitary , active inhibition of ovulatory processes and inhibition of follicle maturation in the ovaries.

First of all, it should be noted that ethinyl estradiol , one of the biological active components, is a synthetic analogue of the follicular hormone estradiol , which, together with the hormones of the corpus luteum, is involved in the regulation of a woman’s menstrual cycle, significantly inhibiting it at certain stages.

Another active component, gestodene , is a gestagenic derivative of 19-nortestosterone and is a stronger and more selective version of natural progesterone secreted by the corpus luteum. This component is used in ultra-low quantities, due to which it does not realize its androgenic potential (the chemical basis for gestodene is a variation of the male sex hormone) and has the weakest effect on the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism of the body.

In addition to the central mechanisms of action directly on sex hormones, the drug exerts contraceptive properties indirectly through peripheral components. Under the influence of the pharmaceutical drug, the susceptibility of the endometrium to the blastocyst is reduced, which makes the process of implantation of the initial forms of the fetus almost impossible. The density and viscosity of the mucus localized in the cervix also increases, which becomes largely impenetrable for sperm making active movements towards the female egg.

Lindinet not only has contraceptive effects, the pharmaceutical drug promotes the active prevention of certain gynecological diseases and more. In particular, the possibility of functional ovarian cysts and ectopic pregnancies . The risk of fibroadenomas in the mammary glands is reduced, and congestive inflammatory processes practically disappear. The beneficial properties of the drug also apply to the skin , as their general condition improves and the severity of acne (with regular use, dermatological defects disappear completely).

Overdose

Lindinet 20 (reviews from women who took the drug are mostly positive) is an oral contraceptive, taking large doses of which did not cause the development of signs of severe intoxication or other pathological conditions of the body.

Despite this, doctors do not rule out the appearance of the following symptoms:

• nausea;
• severe vomiting;
• the opening of vaginal bleeding (this sign is most often found with an overdose in girls aged 18 to 23 years);
• headache;
• diarrhea;
• physical weakness;
• painful condition of the mammary glands.

In case of an overdose of Lindinet 20, a woman is prescribed symptomatic treatment depending on the current state of her health. A specific antidote for the active components of the contraceptive has not been created. In most cases, all therapeutic measures are aimed at neutralizing signs of intoxication of the body.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetic abilities of gestodene

After oral administration, the active component is absorbed quite quickly and almost completely from the gastrointestinal tract, because its bioavailability is about 99%, and the maximum concentration of 2-4 ng/ml is observed after 1 hour.

In the bloodstream, gestodene binds to albumin and specific globulin SHBG , only 1-2% of the amount of the active component remains in free form. The pharmacokinetics of gestodene largely depends on the level of SHBG and the concentration of estradiol, because the amount of the selective transporter increases 3 times under the influence of the sex hormone. Constant use of oral contraceptives also contributes to the active saturation of gestodene; with daily use, the concentration increases by 3-4 times.

The active component undergoes the main stages of biochemical transformation in the liver, after which only in the form of metabolites is excreted in the urine (60%) and feces (40%). The half-life of the active component is biphasic and takes about 1 day, since the average plasma clearance ranges from 0.8 to 1 ml/million/kg.

Pharmacokinetic properties of ethinyl estradiol

The second active component has slightly lower absorption rates - due to presystemic conjugation and primary metabolism, the absolute bioavailability of the pharmacological component from the digestive tube is only 60%, and the maximum concentration of 30-80 pg/ml is achieved after 1-2 hours.

On the distribution side, ethinyl estradiol, on the contrary, outperforms gestodene, because 98.5% of the active substance binds to nonspecific albumin. Also, the active component induces an increase in SHBG levels, which has a beneficial effect on the overall effectiveness of the oral contraceptive. A constant average level of ethinyl estradiol is established by 3-4 days after the start of the therapeutic course, and it is 20% higher than after a single dose of Lindinet tablet.

Biotransformation of the active substance occurs in the liver and is aromatic hydroxylation with the formation of methylated and hydroxylated metabolic products in free form or in the form of conjugates with sulfates or glucuronides. Metabolic clearance from blood plasma ranges from 5-13 ml.

Ethinyl estradiol is excreted only in the form of metabolic products with urine and bile in a ratio of 2:3. The half-life, like that of gestodene, is biphasic and is about 1 day.

Interesting information about birth control pills

Not everyone knows that there is a limited number of eggs in the female body. They are not produced throughout life, like sperm. When the supply runs out, the woman becomes infertile, menstruation stops, and menopause begins. Accordingly, the body almost ceases to produce female hormones. Namely, they provide luxurious hair and skin, rounded body shapes and other aspects of female beauty.

By taking combined contraceptives, the patient blocks the release of eggs, delays the onset of menopause and maintains youth and attractiveness. Therefore, properly selected drugs can not only get rid of unwanted pregnancy, abortion, diseases, but also improve the quality of life.

In addition, it is during menopause that the risk of cancer arises, and hormonal therapy helps to avoid such danger.

Carefully! It is worth remembering that if you already have tumors, taking Lindinet or other birth control pills is dangerous. As with increased blood clotting and some other problems.

Contraindications

• individual hypersensitivity to the pharmaceutical drug or its components;
• risk factors for arterial or venous thrombosis;
• moderate to severe arterial hypertension
• transient ischemic attack or angina pectoris as precursors of thrombosis;
• surgery with prolonged immobilization;
• diabetes;
• pancreatitis with a pronounced increase in blood triglycerides;
• dyslipidemia;
• severe liver diseases ( hepatitis , cholestatic jaundice , etc.);
• cholelithiasis;
• Gilbert , Dubin-Johnson, Rotor syndrome;
• neoplasm localized in the liver;
• otosclerosis or a history of it in a previous pregnancy or after taking glucocorticosteroids;
• smoking over the age of 35;
• hormone-dependent malignant tumors of the genital organs and mammary glands;
• vaginal bleeding of unknown origin;
• period of lactation and childbearing.

Pregnancy and lactation

If a woman is pregnant, then taking the medicine is prohibited - this poses a risk of harm to the fetus. Before starting to take the pills, it is necessary to exclude possible pregnancy.

Comment! Contraceptive pills can be used during lactation only as prescribed by a gynecologist.

When breastfeeding a baby, part of the consumed active substance is excreted in milk, which deteriorates its quality and taste. Therefore, while taking the drug, the gynecologist insists on transferring the child to artificial feeding.

Side effects

Adverse effects of treatment requiring immediate discontinuation of pharmaceutical therapy:

• From the cardiovascular system: arterial hypertension, myocardial infarction , stroke , deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities, pulmonary embolism , venous or arterial thromboembolism of the hepatic, mesenteric, retinal or renal vessels.
• From the senses: hearing loss caused by otosclerosis .
• Other: porphyria , hemolytic-uremic syndrome, exacerbations of reactive systemic lupus erythematosus , Sydenham's chorea .

Side effects, after the appearance of which the advisability of further use of the drug is decided on an individual basis:

• From the reproductive system: acyclic bleeding from the vagina of unknown etiology, amenorrhea , colpocytological changes in vaginal mucus, inflammatory diseases, vaginal candidiasis , pain, enlarged mammary glands, galactorrhea .
• From the central nervous system: hearing loss, depression , migraines , mood lability.
• Dermatological reactions: nodular or exudative erythema , unclear rash, chloasma, increased alopecia .
• From the digestive system: epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting, Crohn's disease , ulcerative colitis , jaundice and the itching that is caused by it, cholelithiasis , liver adenoma, hepatitis.
• From the side of metabolic processes: fluid retention in the body, decreased tolerance to carbohydrates, increased levels of triglycerides or blood glucose, increased body weight.
• Other allergic reactions.

Does the absence of menstruation during the break mean pregnancy?

If the previous pack was taken completely, without gaps, then you can start a new pack, even if your period has not started (or has not yet ended). But to be on the safe side, remember if there have been cases of severe diarrhea, poisoning, vomiting, or taking medications, such as antibiotics. Since all this can reduce the effect of the contraceptive, it makes sense to take a test or visit a gynecologist.

Instructions for use of Lindinet (Method and dosage)

Lindinet 20, instructions for use

Birth control pills are used orally once a day, without chewing and with a sufficient amount of water, regardless of meals. If possible, you should take the pills at the same time of day for 21 days, then take a break for 7 days, and then resume using contraceptives. That is, the next tablet should be used 4 weeks from the start of the course on the same day of the week. During the break, uterine bleeding will be observed, which corresponds to menstruation in a normal cycle.

A course of conservative contraception should be started from the 1st to the 5th day of the menstrual cycle, if other oral contraceptives have not been used before. Otherwise, the 1st tablet must be taken after taking the last dose of the previous pharmaceutical preparation containing hormones, on the 1st day of bleeding after discontinuation.

Switching from progestogen-containing drugs to Lindinet requires the use of an additional method of contraception in the first week. The date of first use of a new contraceptive should be consistent with the pharmaceutical form of the previous drug:

• in the form of mini-tablets - on any day of the menstrual cycle;
• in case of injections - on the eve of the last injection;
• implant - the day after its removal.

Lindinet 30, instructions for use

Since this pharmaceutical form is an enhanced version of Lindinet 20 with a higher concentration of ethinyl estradiol, it is recommended to prescribe it after an abortion so that the restoration of physiological hormonal levels occurs much faster and less painfully.

If the abortion was performed in the 1st trimester of pregnancy , then there is nothing to worry about. Taking oral contraceptives can be started immediately after gynecological manipulation and there is no need to use additional methods of contraception.

If abortion or childbirth occurred in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy , then taking the pharmaceutical drug can only be started on the 21st-28th day after the obstetric surgery. If the course of conservative protection is started later, a barrier method of contraception should be used in the first week. If full sexual intercourse took place before starting to take the drug, then before taking birth control you need to make sure that there is no new pregnancy.

Missing an oral contraceptive pill

If the next dose of the tablet was missed, then the missing amount of the pharmaceutical drug in the bloodstream must be replenished as quickly as possible. With a delay that does not exceed 12 hours , the clinical effects of the contraceptive are not reduced and the need for additional protection by other methods of contraception automatically disappears. Subsequent tablets are taken according to the usual regimen.

If a woman misses a pill and does not replace it within 12 hours , then the pharmacological effectiveness of the drug is reduced, which requires special measures and precautions. First of all, you should resume taking the drug as soon as possible and continue to take it as usual. It is recommended to use any other methods of contraception for a week after the missed period.

This situation may become more complicated if there are less than 7 tablets left in the package . How to take it in this case - start the next pack without observing the required one-week break, which is carried out only after the end of the 2nd pack of contraceptives. It should be noted that while using the 2nd pack, spotting or even breakthrough bleeding may be observed, which can indirectly indicate the presence of pregnancy. If hemorrhages have not stopped after the end of the 2nd pack, then before continuing to take birth control you should consult a doctor and rule out the presence of a developing fetus in the womb.

Ethinyl estradiol

Ethinyl estradiol is a highly effective component belonging to the group of estrogens. It is produced by the adrenal glands and ovaries and has an estrogenic effect. In combination with progesterone, ethinyl estradiol regulates the menstrual cycle, provokes the reproduction and division of endometrial cells and has a stimulating effect on the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the uterus in case of their insufficiency. In addition, this type of hormone can mitigate or completely eliminate complications due to dysfunction of the gonads and lower cholesterol levels in the blood. This is confirmed by the instructions for use for Lindinet 20 and 30. Many people are interested in analogues.

Interaction

The contraceptive properties of the pharmaceutical drug are reduced when used with drugs such as Ampicillin , Tetracycline , Rifampicin , barbiturates, Primidone , Carbamazepine , Phenylbutazone , Phenytoin , Griseofulvin , Topiramate , Oxcarbazepine .

Therefore, if it is necessary to use these drugs together with Lindinet, it is necessary to use additional non-hormonal contraceptives for 7 days (it is recommended to visit an additional consultation with your doctor and clarify the period for certain). You may also experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding, menstrual irregularities, or some other side effects.

In conditions of increased peristalsis or diarrhea , the residence time of the contraceptive drug in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract is reduced, which significantly reduces the absorption properties of the hormonal contraceptive. Any drug that shortens the stay of Lindinet in the digestive tube leads to a decrease in the concentration of active components in the blood, and accordingly to a decrease in their beneficial effect.

Drug interactions at the absorption stage are modeled using the combined use of a contraceptive with ascorbic acid , since biologically active substances are equally subject to sulfation in the intestinal wall, which inhibits metabolic chains and increases the bioavailability of ethinyl estradiol.

Consequences of taking

The action of all COCs is based on:

• inhibition in the ovaries and, as a result, absence;
• increasing the viscosity of cervical mucus, which prevents sperm from penetrating into the uterus.

information

Thus, a double effect of protection against unwanted pregnancy is achieved. Moreover, after discontinuation of the drug, restoration of reproductive function and the onset of pregnancy is possible both in the first month and after six months.

When taking Lindinet 20 for a long time, you must:

• be examined by a gynecologist once every six months;
• take a blood test for sugar and liver enzymes;
• If side effects occur (migraine, headache, muscle pain), inform your doctor and decide on the advisability of further use, replacing it or refusing to use it.

special instructions

Pregnancy after using hormonal contraceptives

Oral hormonal contraceptives are a group of pharmaceuticals based on synthetic analogs of female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) that prevent the onset of ovulation, preventing the very possibility of fertilization. Of course, a large audience of women is convinced that using them for contraception is harmful, since a normal, physiological pregnancy will most likely not occur after drug changes in hormonal levels. However, this is one of the myths about this group of drugs.

After stopping taking hormonal contraceptives and completing a course of conservative contraception, the effects of the drugs gradually disappear. The only peculiarity is that when planning a pregnancy , you should find out the exact timing of the optimal moment for fertilization in the antenatal clinic or from your personal gynecologist. After all, every time a woman takes a pill for a headache, she does not worry about the health of her unconceived child; in this case, the situation is almost identical.

When can you not use barrier methods of contraception?

Lindinet is a reliable hormonal contraceptive drug, which can be determined from a special indicator of the number of pregnancies that occurred during a course of oral contraception in 100 women for 1 year. For this pharmaceutical product, it is only 0.05, if you use the contraceptive correctly and only according to the application plan. However, the pharmacological effects of Lindinet do not fully develop immediately, but only by the 14th day from the start of taking the pills, therefore, in the first 2 weeks it is recommended to use barrier methods of contraception.

Lindinet 20 and Lindinet 30 - what's the difference?

A large number of visitors to pharmaceutical forums for women ask the following series of questions: “Lindynet 20 and 30 - what is the difference?”, as well as whether the drugs are interchangeable and, finally, which is better of the two forms of the contraceptive drug. The difference in the forms of the same contraceptive lies in the concentration of one of the active components - ethinyl estradiol. In oral tablets, the level can be 0.02 mg and 0.03 mg, respectively, which in biochemical terms does place them in different categories.

Lindinet 20 has a milder pharmacological effect and contributes to a lesser extent to increasing the selective SHBG transporter, which makes it possible to use it for contraception, however, for therapeutic needs , as a rule, a stronger form of the drug is required, which is why Lindinet 30 is used. What is different from weaker tablets, a more concentrated form of the drug is not advertised, since sometimes, for individual indications, even as a contraceptive, it is necessary to use Lindinet 30, which can be perceived by a woman as an unfair load with a hormonal drug.

It is strictly contraindicated to replace pharmaceutical forms of a drug on your own, because a qualified specialist who prescribes contraceptives or therapeutic agents relies on the results of clinical studies, their interpretation and many years of experience in his field, and not on an approximate idea of ​​the biomechanism of the female body. If any side effects or other adverse effects occur, you should seek advice and resolve the issue on an individual basis.

Indications for use

The main indication for use is the prevention of unwanted pregnancy. This drug belongs to the group of oral contraceptives. Lindinet 20 hormones contain estrogen (in the form of ethinyl estradiol) and progesterone (gestodene). They have a triple effect on the reproductive system:

• inhibit the ovulation process;
• increase the viscosity of mucus in the cervix, thereby preventing sperm from moving towards the egg;
• affect the mucous membrane of the uterus, making it impossible for a fertilized egg to attach to it.

Pills are prescribed not only as a contraceptive. They are also used to correct hormonal imbalances.

Lindinet 20 for endometriosis

Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar in functionality and structure to the endometrium grows outside the uterus. The condition normalizes without specific treatment in about a third of cases. This occurs as a result of the immune system, which recognizes excess tissue and destroys it.

In most cases, endometriosis requires treatment. Doctors often prescribe contraceptives (Lindinet 20 is one of them) to normalize hormonal levels in the body.

The treatment regimen is as follows:

1. A six-month course of oral contraceptive is prescribed.
2. If there are positive dynamics, it is extended for another 3-6 months.

After using the contraceptive, the patient should experience no menstrual pain. With continued treatment, the lesions of endometriosis decrease in size.

Lindinet 20 for menopause

After menopause, a woman still has a small chance of becoming pregnant. Since most women do not plan to have children at this age, the issue of contraception should be given attention.

Important! According to researchers, oral contraception during menopause reduces the likelihood of diseases of the thyroid gland and cardiovascular system, and also prevents the leaching of calcium from the body.

Before you start taking hormonal medications during perimenopause, you should consult your doctor. He will prescribe diagnostic measures to obtain a complete picture of the condition.

Among pharmaceutical drugs similar to Lindinet, several groups of contraceptives should be distinguished:

• Lindinet 20 analogues with identical ATX code and composition of active ingredients: Logest , Model Tin , Femoden ;
• analogues with the same level 4 ATX code: Angeleta , Vidora , Dayla , Naadin , Novinet .

Lindinet 20 or Logest - which is better?

Like Lindinet, Logest belongs to the group of combined oral hormonal contraceptives. The pharmaceutical preparation contains the same active ingredients in identical quantities, that is, 1 contraceptive tablet contains 0.02 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.075 mg gestodene. The only significant difference between medicines is the country of production, and, accordingly, the price indicator.

Since Lindinet is produced in Hungary, its cost in pharmacy kiosks is much lower than that of the drug produced jointly by French and German pharmacists, but this in no way indicates the effectiveness of the former, therefore the choice of a contraceptive should be entrusted to a qualified specialist, because he is based on individual indicators of hormonal balance and some other medical aspects.

Which is better: Novinet or Lindinet 20?

Novinet is a monophasic oral contraceptive, which, in addition to ethinyl estradiol, contains the synthetic progestogen desogestrel , which somewhat changes the mechanism of action of the contraceptive drug. Like all artificial pharmaceutical components of this nature, desogestrel has a high affinity for progesterone receptors located in the hypothalamic-pituitary region, on which its effects are based. In sufficiently small quantities, it is able to “turn on” the negative feedback mechanism, which results in a sharp inhibition of the release and production of gonadotropins and a complete blocking of ovulation.

Since Novinet includes such a potent pharmaceutical component as one of the active ingredients, its price is accordingly almost twice as high as that of Lindinet. However, with certain individual indications or contraindications, a woman does not have the opportunity to use a cheaper contraceptive, which makes it possible to include Novinet in a conservative course of contraception.

Classification of oral contraceptives.

Contraceptive pills may contain one or more types of hormones. To prescribe the right type of remedy, you need to know whether the woman has given birth or not, and whether there are problems with the menstrual cycle. All such remedies, to one degree or another, help improve the body’s hormonal levels.

Combined hormonal contraceptives are divided into mono-, bi- and triphasic.

• Monophasic drugs, regardless of the phase of the cycle, have the same concentration of hormones in their composition.
• Biphasic ones must be taken in the second half of the cycle, since they contain a higher content of hormonal substances.
• Three-phase contraceptives have different levels of hormones, increasing and decreasing as they are needed in the body.

Reviews about Lindinet

Reviews about Lindinet 20 can be found in antenatal clinics, on pharmaceutical or other thematic forums, and almost everywhere hormonal contraceptive pills receive good responses, because oral contraceptives really effectively help solve this issue. Of course, some women complain that weight increases unreasonably when following the dosage regimen and correct dosages of the contraceptive, but side effects are not common, especially since hormonal levels are one of the most unstable balances in the body.

Birth control pills, in addition to their main purpose, are also used as a therapeutic agent for functional disorders of the menstrual cycle and some other gynecological pathologies, and even cope with this task perfectly. Reviews about Lindinet 30 on forums fully confirm the advisability of conservative treatment with this form of pharmaceutical drug, because the dosage of active components in it is slightly higher.

Reviews from doctors on Lindinet 20, as well as for the more concentrated form of the drug, have a positive advantage, because thanks to the carefully developed pharmaceutical formula and regimen for taking the oral contraceptive, you can easily achieve the desired effects for a long time. Of course, qualified specialists are overshadowed by the fact that women allow themselves to independently change the forms, and sometimes dosages, of the drug based on the fact that side effects are observed, but this does not always lead to catastrophic consequences.

However, experienced pharmacists and gynecologists recommend seeking additional advice in advance if side effects begin to bother you during a conservative course of taking Lindinet 20 or 30 or any other types of discomfort that arise during drug treatment.

If you miss several tablets

If more than half of the course has already passed, it is best to throw away the started pack and, after waiting for menstruation, start a new pack. At this time, it is imperative to protect yourself. To do this, you can use condoms and vaginal suppositories. If the package has just been started, then continue taking the drug according to the regimen, and after its completion, start a new one the next day, without a week's break. Remember to use additional contraception for the first two weeks.
