What are monophasic birth control pills?
Monophasic birth control pills have a constant does of both Estrogen and Progestin in each hormonally active pill.

Is Lexapro mono-phasic or bi-phasic?
Lexapro (or escitalopram as it is known generically) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) often prescribed for depression or anxiety. It is neither monophasic nor biphasic as we usally think of those terms. I suppose you could refer to it as "monophasic" if you are stabilized on a constant dose. Your doctor will often prescribe an initial dose (e.g., 10 mg once daily) that may be increased (e.g., to 20 mg once daily) after a short period of use. Monophasic, biphasic, and triphasic designations usally refer to oral contraceptive pills in which the dosage of the pill pack varies (or not) throughout the three weeks prior to the week of placebo pills that all a woman to have her period. Monophasic pills have the same level of hormone (estrogen and progesterone) in each pill throughout the three week period. Biphasic pills vary the amount of hormone in each pill once during the three week period, and triphasic pills change the amount of hormone in each pill once weekly. I hope this helps to answer your question.
