It also contains the following ingredients: Pink active film-coated tablets: Tablet Core: Lactose monohydrate, pregelatinized starch (maize), povidone, croscarmellose sodium, polysorbate 80, magnesium stearate.

Each blister contains 28 tablets, 24 pink, active film-coated tablets in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th rows of the strip and 4 white placebo film-coated tablets in row 4. The core of the tablet is coated.
Each of the 24 active tablet contains a small quantity of 2 different female hormones, called drospirenone (a progestogen) and ethinylestradiol (an estrogen). Due to the small quantity of the hormones, Lizelle is considered a low-dose oral contraceptive. Since all tablets in the pack combine the same hormones in the same dose, it is considered a monophasic combined oral contraceptive.
The 4 tablets do not contain active ingredients and are called placebo tablets.
