Breast tenderness
Changes in menstrual flow: This can mean the amount of blood you lose during your period may increase or decrease.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Florina-L Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Florina-L Tablet has two key active ingredients:

Ethinyl Estradiol (0.02 mg): As a synthetic form of estrogen, this component helps stabilise the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) and provides control over your menstrual cycle.
Levonorgestrel (0.1 mg): A synthetic progestin that performs multiple functions. It thickens the cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to enter the uterus, thus preventing fertilisation. Additionally, it changes the endometrium, making it difficult for a fertilised egg to implant and develop.

Pregnancy

Florina-L Tablet is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, it's essential to talk about this with your doctor before starting this medicine.
