Microgynon 30 tablets

The Microgynon 30 pill is a combined oral contraceptive used for birth control. It contains ethinyl estradiol (30 micrograms) and levonorgestrel (150 micrograms), which work together to prevent pregnancy. This contraceptive is taken daily for 21 consecutive days, followed by a seven-day pill-free period. It is known to be reliable when used as directed and may also offer benefits such as regulating your menstrual cycle.

Microgynon 30 tablets typically contain two active ingredients:
Levonorgestrel (30 mcg): This is a synthetic form of the hormone progestin commonly used in combined oral contraceptives. It helps prevent ovulation and changes cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach an egg.
Ethinyl estradiol (30 mcg): This synthetic form of estrogen is another key ingredient in combined oral contraceptives. It helps regulate the menstrual cycle and supports the reproductive effects of levonorgestrel.
These two active ingredients work together to provide effective contraception by inhibiting ovulation, modifying the consistency of cervical mucus, and changing the lining of the uterus.

While Microgynon® 30 is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as breast tenderness, mood changes, or irregular bleeding. Serious side effects are rare but may include blood clots, which can be life-threatening. Seek medical attention if you experience symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe headache.

Microgynon 30 is a reliable contraceptive, but it does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. If you notice symptoms such as swelling or pain in the legs, you should consult a healthcare provider. It may not be suitable for certain medical conditions or with certain medications, so you should discuss your medical history with your doctor.

While Microgynon 30 provides effective contraception and other benefits, your healthcare provider is best placed to guide you in choosing the right method based on your health.
