A combined pill that’s safe and over 99% effective.
Elevin is a combined contraceptive pill which is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy if you take it correctly.

Elevin is a combined oral contraceptive pill. The two hormones in it help to stop ovulation from happening, and so prevent a woman from getting pregnant. It’s sometimes called a monophasic pill, which means that each pill has the same amount of hormones in it.
Combined pills like Elevin come very close to reducing the likelihood of pregnancy to zero - as long as they’re used correctly. Less than one in 100 women taking them ‘perfectly’ (following the instructions exactly) will become pregnant over the course of a year.
Bit of a technical but interesting bit of info: Elevin contains a progesterone derivative called levonorgestrel and is a ‘second generation’ pill. This means that it's less likely than other pills to cause water retention, heavy bleeding or bloating, and is in the ‘safest’ category for blood clot risk.
The two hormones in Elevin, levonorgestrel, a progesterone, and ethinylestradiol, an oestrogen, prevent ovulation, which is when an egg is released by the ovaries. They signal to the body that ovulation has already taken place, and so an egg isn’t released (a sort of hormonal trickery, if you like).
They also make the lining of the cervix thicker, so that it’s a lot more difficult for sperm to travel through the cervical fluid and fertilise an egg.
The lining of the uterus is made thinner too, which means that it’s harder for a fertilised egg to attach itself to the lining and develop. You may get lighter or more frequent periods as a result of this.
Elevin is over 99% effective when taken exactly as it should be. Less than 1 in 100 women who use it as a contraceptive and take it ‘perfectly’ will get pregnant in a year.
If you sometimes miss a pill or don’t take it according to the instructions, the chances of you becoming pregnant are slightly greater. For ‘typical’ use (making the occasional mistake) the effectiveness drops to around 91%.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
Follow the direction of the arrow on the strip until you’ve taken all 21 pills, and take them according to the days of the week which are indicated on the strip. For example, if you start taking Elevin on a Wednesday, take a pill with ‘WED’ printed beside it.
If you start taking Elevin on the first day of your period, you’ll get immediate protection from becoming pregnant. You can also start to take it sometime between the second and fifth day of your cycle, but in these circumstances you must use extra protection, such as a condom, for the first 7 days while the pill takes effect.
It may be that you’re switching to Elevin from another pill. In which case, you’ll have to start taking it the day after you took your last active pill. If you’re switching to Elevin from a vaginal ring or patch, our prescriber can advise you on how to manage this.
Take one pill for 21 days at the same time every day.
You can take Elevin either with or without food, and with a small amount of water if you need to.
Follow the instructions in the patient information leaflet that come with your treatment before you start taking Elevin.
For the most part, yes. Elevin is a 21-day pill, so you take it every day for 3 weeks and then have 7 pill-free days. To get the most protection from Elevin, you should take it at the same time each day, on the day of the week printed beside each pill on the strip.
So they’re the basics.
During your 7 pill-free days you’ll usually have a withdrawal bleed, like a menstrual period. If you want to skip this, just go straight from one strip of pills onto the next. Then your bleed will come at the end of the next pack. This gives you some control over when you have your period and is perfect for holidays and special occasions.
You can take Elevin continuously too. This way you won’t have any bleeding. It isn’t licensed to be taken in this way, but it’s safe and probably offers more reliable contraception.
If you’re less than 12 hours late taking a pill, your protection from pregnancy isn’t reduced at all. Take the pill as soon as you remember, and take any subsequent pills at the usual time.
In the event that you’re more than 12 hours late taking a pill, the protection Elevin offers from pregnancy may be reduced. The more pills that you forget to take, the greater the risk of becoming pregnant.
You’re most likely to get pregnant if you forget to take a pill either at the beginning or at the end of the strip.
If you forget to take more than one pill in the same strip, let us know. We can advise you what to do next.
In week 1, if you forget to take one pill, take the pill as soon as you remember, even if it means that you need to take two pills at the same time. Take any subsequent pills at the usual time, and use additional protection, such as a condom, for the next 7 days.
If you forget to take one pill in week 2, take the pill you’ve forgotten as soon as you remember, even if it means having to take two pills at the same time. If you have had sex during the week before forgetting to take a pill, you may be pregnant, and you should let us know.
In week 3, if you forget to take one pill, you can do one of two things. Take the pill as soon as you remember, even if you have to take two pills at the same time. You should then continue to take any pills at the time you usually do, but instead of taking 7 pill-free days, start the next strip. It’s likely that you’ll have a period at the end of the second strip, but it may be that you get some light or menstruation-like bleeding during the second strip.
Alternatively, you can stop the strip and start the 7-day pill-free period, making a note of the day on which you forgot to take your pill. If you’d prefer to start a new strip on the day you always start a strip, shorten the length of the 7-day pill-free window.
If you’ve forgotten any of the pills in a strip, and you don’t experience any bleeding in the first pill-free period, you could be pregnant. You should contact your doctor before you start your next strip.
If you take several pills at any one time, you may get some nausea and vomiting. Young women may also experience bleeding from the vagina. Should you take too many pills, let our prescriber know and they can advise you.

Seamless Service and Reliable Contraceptive Solution
My experience with Treated has been nothing short of exceptional. Transitioning from the US to the UK, I needed to replenish my contraceptive pill supply, and Treated made the process incredibly smooth and hassle-free. The online consultation with a doctor was convenient and reassuring. I was able to explain my requirements, and the doctor provided me with several suitable alternatives, ultimately leading me to Eloine, which has been a perfect fit for me so far. The guidance and support I received throughout the process were invaluable, and it was evident that the doctor had my best interests at heart. What truly impressed me was the speed of the entire process. Once I made my decision and completed the necessary steps, my order was promptly dispatched and arrived at my doorstep the very next day. Such efficiency is a rarity these days, and I commend Treated for their commitment to customer satisfaction. As for the product itself, I have been using Eloine for just over a week now, and I am pleased to report that everything is going well. It's comforting to know that I have access to a reliable contraceptive option that meets my needs, all thanks to Treated. I am grateful for the peace of mind they have provided me, and I will certainly be returning for any future healthcare needs. Thank you, Treated, for exceeding my expectations.
