Microgynon 30

About Microgynon 30

  • Combined oral contraceptive pill (two sex hormones)
  • Highly effective
  • Not suitable for women who are breastfeeding

Microgynon 30 is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains two active ingredients, ethinylestradiol, and levonorgestrel. Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic version of the female sex hormone estrogen, while levonorgestrel is a progestogen. When taken correctly, Microgynon 30 helps prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, thickening the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation. This contraceptive is suitable for women looking for an effective and convenient birth control method.

Dosage and usage

To effectively prevent pregnancy, you should take one Microgynon 30 pill at the same time each day for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break where you do not take any pills. Start the next pack after the 7-day break even if your period has not finished. Remember to follow the arrow indicators on the pack to ensure you take the pills in the correct order. If you miss a pill, refer to the patient leaflet for instructions on what to do. The effects of Microgynon 30 last for one cycle. If you experience persistent side effects or forget to take a pill, consult your healthcare provider.
