Lovima is a new brand of an oral contraceptive that contains desogestrel. Desogestrel was previously only available for women on prescription. The launch of Lovima enables women to buy a contraceptive pill from the pharmacy, by consulting with a pharmacist. You don’t need to make an appointment to see your doctor or family planning clinic to get a prescription. Lovima is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy, provided you take it at the same time each day from the start of your menstrual cycle.
