Jolivette Side Effects, and Overdose Information

Jolivette is a synthetic form of female sex hormones produced naturally in the body called Progestin. These hormones suppress the pituitary glands activity thus hindering ovulation; alter the mucus at the cervix opening to prevent sperm from entering, and their variable levels play a vital role in fertility in women. However, since Jolivette contains only Progestin, it may be less effective than Progestin-Estrogen combinations. Mini-pills like Jolivette may cause irregular menstrual cycle. Main ingredient in Jolivette is Progestin- High Dose (Mini-Pill).
