Qlaira uses estradiol valerate and dienogest in a quadriphasic dosing regimen. It is not PBS-listed and is primarily used for heavy menstrual bleeding management.
Qlaira is a quadriphasic combined oral contraceptive containing estradiol valerate and dienogest in four changing dose phases across the 28-day cycle. Like Zoely, it uses a natural oestrogen precursor rather than synthetic ethinylestradiol, which may suit women who are sensitive to conventional oestrogen formulations.
Qlaira has a unique dosing structure specifically designed to closely mimic the natural hormonal cycle. The dienogest progestin component has strong anti-proliferative properties on the uterine lining, making Qlaira particularly effective for women with heavy menstrual bleeding or endometriosis.
PBS-listed in Australia, Qlaira is often prescribed for women who want contraception combined with management of heavy periods. It is one of the most sophisticated hormonal contraceptive formulations available and requires careful adherence to its complex dosing schedule.
