Linessa is a new triphasic oral contraceptive in Canada.
Linessa provides 25 mcg/day of ethinyl estradiol...with an increasing dose of desogestrel in each 7-day phase. These doses go from 0.1 to 0.125 to 0.15 mg/day.
It's the first triphasic to contain desogestrel...along with an estrogen dose lower than 30 mcg.
