What is the definition or description of: kariva?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral contraceptive: Kariva is an oral contraceptive pill that contains a relatively low steady dose in that the estrogen component is 20 ug. The progestin is desogestrel and is a steady dose. Therefore the pill is considered monophasic. Of note, Kariva adds an additional 5 days of estrogen - at the end of the pack- after a 2 day hiatus- making it an "extended" dosing pill pack.
