Loette Tablet (Ethinylestradiol and Levonorgestrel) is commonly prescribed to regulate menstrual cycles by balancing hormones and to reduce excessive uterine lining thickness. Most people tolerate it well, but some may experience mild side effects such as headache, nausea, stomach pain, breast pain, weight gain, or light vaginal bleeding. These effects usually improve as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if you develop severe headaches, unusual swelling, heavy bleeding, chest pain, or breathlessness, please contact your doctor promptly. Always take the medicine exactly as prescribed and inform your doctor if any side effects persist or worsen.
