Quasense is the brand name for levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol and is available as an oral tablet.

Quasense is available as an oral tablet containing 0.15 mg of levonorgestrel and 0.03 mg of ethinyl estradiol.

Quasense is an estrogen/progestin combined contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy.

Quasense is a combination oral contraceptive (COC) that contains 2 hormones: ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and levonorgestrel (a progestin). Both hormones work together to prevent pregnancy by:

• Suppressing ovulation (release of an egg from the ovary)
• Changing cervical mucus to block sperm movement
• Creating an unfriendly environment for the fertilized egg by changing the lining in the uterus (womb)

Quasense is typically taken by mouth once daily. There are 84 active tablets and they each contains 0.15 mg levonorgestrel and 30 mcg ethinyl estradiol. There are 7 placebo tablets and they don’t contain any active medications.
