21 day pill, similar to Yasmin.
Lucette is a contraceptive which gives more than 99% protection against pregnancy.
We’re here to make birth control simpler. Tell us about your health, and get recommendations for treatment from our experts. Order Lucette online and get it the next day.
Lucette is a contraceptive pill that you take daily. It contains two active ingredients (Drospirenone, ethinyl estradiol) which are artificial versions of the hormones progesterone and oestrogen.
These provide close to full protection against pregnancy when you take them correctly. They do this by: stopping ovulation so no egg is released; changing the wall of your uterus so any fertilised eggs (unlikely anyway) can’t implant; and thickening cervical fluid so sperm can’t pass through and fertilise an egg.
Lucette is a 4th gen pill, which means that it’s a newer type.
Lucette is considered a safe pill. All combined contraception pills like Lucette go through rigorous testing before they become available.
Some women get side effects when they start a new pill. It’s pretty common. Most of the time they’re mild and it’s just a case of your body getting used to the hormones. They usually disappear after a couple of months. But let your prescriber know if any side effects stick around or get uncomfortable.
Lucette is more than 99% effective. That means less than 1% of women will get pregnant over a year when using it correctly.
If you make a mistake when taking it, it becomes a bit less effective: 91%. So it’s best to stick to the instructions as closely as you can (i.e. take your pill at the same time each day and try not to miss any).
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.
Swallow it whole, preferably with water, at the same time every day. It’s recommended that you take it with breakfast or before bed to maintain the habit throughout the course of the month.
A 28-day course is contained within a strip of pills, all with the days of the week labelled above them, so you can keep track of what you have taken. There are 21 tablets in total in each strip. Once you reach the end of the strip, you should take a break for seven days.
If you haven’t been taking or using a hormonal contraceptive the previous month, start taking Lucette on the first day of your cycle, which is the first day of bleeding on your period. You will then be immediately and fully protected against pregnancy. If you take them between days two and five, you’ll need to use a barrier contraceptive for seven days.
Changing from a different combined contraceptive pill (or patch and ring) to Lucette means you will need to take Lucette the day after you took the last pill of the other course and then complete the Lucette strip of 21 pills. You can then take the seven day break as instructed and carry on as explained above.
Changing from progesterone only pills to Lucette means you will need to use a barrier contraceptive for seven days after switching.
With the combined pill, if you’re late taking it one day you have a bit of leeway. If you remember to take your pill within 12 hours of your scheduled time, your protection won’t be reduced.
If you’re later than 12 hours taking it, or miss more than one, take the most recent pill you forgot as soon as you remember and carry on taking the pill as normal. You’ll need to use barrier protection for seven days. You might be advised to skip the 7-day break at the end of your pack, depending on when your missed pill was.
For further information, you should read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medication.

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.
