Is there a generic version of Velivet?
Yes, Velivet is itself the generic form of the brand-name drug Cyclessa. Its active ingredients are ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel. Another generic version of Cyclessa is called Caziant.

What is Velivet and how does it work?
Velivet is an FDA-approved, generic, triphasic oral contraceptive. It contains two hormones: ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and desogestrel (a progestin). The pill primarily works by preventing ovulation. It also thickens cervical mucus to block sperm and thins the uterine lining to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. The 28-day regimen involves three different dosage levels of active hormones over 21 days, followed by seven inactive pills that contain a small amount of iron to help offset menstrual blood loss. Triphasic pills like Velivet are designed to mimic a natural hormone cycle more closely and may be prescribed to help reduce side effects for women who do not tolerate monophasic or biphasic pills well.
