Jolivette is a form of progesterone, a female hormone important for regulating ovulation and menstruation.

Jolivette is used for birth control (contraception) to prevent pregnancy.

Jolivette is also used to treat menstrual disorders, endometriosis, or abnormal vaginal bleeding caused by a hormone imbalance.

Not all brands of Jolivette are for the same uses. Some brands are for use only as contraception. Others are for use in treating endometriosis or vaginal bleeding disorders. Avoid medication errors by using only the brand, form, and strength your doctor prescribes.
