What is Velivet?
Velivet is an FDA-approved generic women's prescription birth control pill. The active ingredients are two naturally-occurring hormones: ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and desogestrel (a progestin). Velivet prevents the monthly release of an egg from the ovaries. It also alters the linings of both the cervix and uterus to block the movement of sperm and prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg.
Velivet is taken in a 28-day sequence. The active ingredient dosage changes each week over the 28-day regimen for a total of three different dosages, so Velivet is a “triphasic” birth control pill. The final seven tablets taken at the end of the menstrual cycle, however, have no active ingredients in order to allow menstruation. These inert pills also contain a small amount of iron (ferrous fumarate) to help offset iron and blood loss due to menstruation. Triphasic birth control pills are intended to control the hormone cycle more stably and reduce side effects. They are usually prescribed to women who have not tolerated the effects of monophasic or biphasic birth control pills.
What are the side effects of Velivet?
Common side effects of Velivet include but are not limited to swelling, bloating, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, headache, breast tenderness, menstrual changes, and vaginal itching and discharge. Mood changes are common and include mood swings, depression, and decreased sex. Allergic reactions to Velivet are extremely rare but include rashes and hives. drive.
Nursing mothers should avoid Velivet because estrogens reduce breast milk production. Estrogens also pass into the milk and affect the development of the infant. Nursing mothers requiring birth control are often prescribed “mini-pills,” whose only active ingredient is a progestin.
