What is Aurovela 1/5/30?
Aurovela 1/5/30 is a brand of combined oral contraceptive pills. The name reflects the hormone strengths in the tablet: 1 mg norethindrone (a progestin), 5 mcg ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen), and 30 pills per pack cycle. (Exact formulations and labeling details can vary by manufacturer and country.)
How is it used for birth control?
Like other combined oral contraceptives, Aurovela 1/5/30 is taken on a daily schedule to prevent pregnancy. Most regimens follow a 21-day active-pill cycle with a set number of “inactive” days depending on the specific package instructions, but you should follow the exact directions on your prescription label and package insert.
What should I check on the label?
If you are trying to confirm you have the right product, check:
- The full name: Aurovela 1/5/30 (not a different Aurovela strength)
- The active ingredient amounts listed on the box/blister
- Whether the pack includes placebo/inactive tablets (some regimens do; others differ by country)
Is there a generic or alternative?
Aurovela products typically have generic equivalents depending on the country and the specific strength. If you tell me your country (or what you see on the package, like the exact ingredient amounts in mg/mcg), I can help you match it to the closest equivalent.
Why does “1/5/30” matter?
The “1/5/30” dosing pattern determines:
- How much estrogen and progestin you receive each day (which affects side effects and cycle control)
- Which pill strength you can safely substitute for another Aurovela strength
If you’re switching from another contraceptive, using a different strength without a clinician’s guidance can change bleeding patterns and tolerability.
