Levlen is used for preventing pregnancy. It may be used for other situations as determined by your physician.
How Taken
Use Levlen as directed by your doctor. Use Levlen with or without a meal. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.

Try to take Levlen at the same time every day, not more than 24 hours apart. After taking the last pill in the pack, start taking the first pill from a new pack the very next day. For Levlen to be effective it must be taken every day.
