Lutera is a birth control pill that helps prevent pregnancy. It’s a low-dose pill and has a lower risk of side effects than other pills.

Lutera is a low-dose birth control pill. It’s just as good at lowering your chances of becoming pregnant as other pills, but is better for women who normally get side effects (win-win). It’s called a “combined” pill because it contains two versions of naturally produced hormones. These are called levonorgestrel (a type of progesterone) and ethinyl estradiol (a kind of estrogen).
When you take Lutera, your hormone levels change, and this stops the body from doing the regular things it does to make you ready for pregnancy. Combined pills like Lutera are one of the most effective methods of birth control.
Yes, quite a few. Let’s back up a second — generics are pills that have the same ingredients, in the same amounts. Generics for Lutera include Alesse, Aviane, Delyla, Falmina, Larissa, Lessina, Orsythia, Sronyx, Vienva, Evaluna 20, Anulette 20, Prionelle, Leanore, Microlite and Aubra EQ.
Because all of these birth control pills contain exactly the same levels of the same hormones, the way they work and the types of side effects you could get are the same. The main differences are what the pills look like, who makes or markets them (Mayne makes Lutera) and how much they cost. Lutera is pretty cheap for this type of pill, but Vienva is a little cheaper.
There are two hormones in Lutera. They’re pretty much the same as progesterone and estrogen. You have these hormones naturally in your body, and they fluctuate over the course of your menstrual cycle. When they rise and fall, they tell your body to do different things like ovulate and shed your womb lining (that’s when your period happens).
The way the pill works is by supplementing hormone levels in the body. This tricks your body into thinking that ovulation has already happened. The ovaries don’t release an egg, and fertilization can’t take place. These hormones also stop the lining inside the womb from getting thicker, making it less likely that an egg would be able to implant itself there, assuming it somehow got fertilized. For some women, this has the added benefit of making periods lighter.
