Microgynon
Microgynon 30 is one of the most widely used oral contraceptives and is commonly referred to as the pill. It is almost 100% effective at preventing pregnancy, which makes it a convenient yet comprehensive form of protection for thousands of women.
Microgynon pills are a low dose daily oral contraceptive that is taken to prevent pregnancy. It provides you with immediate protection when you take it on the first day of your menstrual cycle. However, aside from its benefits as contraceptive, the Microgynon contraceptive pill has also been proven to ease and manage the uncomfortable symptoms associated with endometriosis.
Microgynon is a combined oral contraceptive, which means that it contains two hormones. The two active ingredients in a Microgynon contraceptive pill are ethinylestradiol (30 micrograms) and levonorgestrel (1.5 milligrams), which are synthetic versions of oestrogen and progestogen that act in the same way as the natural hormones. Because Microgynon contraceptive pills contain two hormones, they work in three ways to prevent pregnancy.

What are the benefits of using Microgynon pills?
The pill is one of the most reliable methods available to women who want to protect themselves against pregnancy. It can provide you with immediate protection if taken at the right point in your cycle. If you take it any later in your cycle, it only takes seven days before you are fully protected against conception. Microgynon contraceptive pills, just like some other variants of the pill, can potentially help reduce the pain you experience when you have your period and can also help make cyclical bleeding more predictable. Microgynon pills are sometimes also prescribed to help people who suffer from endometriosis (where cells abnormally grow on organs outside the womb).
How do Microgynon pills work?
Microgynon contraceptive pills primarily work by preventing ovulation. This is why many women experience less pain during their periods when taking the pill, because your body isn’t going though its usual ovulation cycle. The bleeding that you do experience is your body’s way of naturally removing the contraceptive hormones. Apart from preventing ovulation, Microgynon pills also increase the viscosity of cervical fluid, making it too thick for sperm to travel through to enter the womb. Microgynon contraceptive pills also prevent the womb lining from becoming thick enough to allow an egg to grow inside.
Who can take Microgynon contraceptive pills?
Most women over the age of 18 can use Microgynon pills for contraceptive purposes; however, there are certain health conditions and medications with which the use of the pill is prohibited. You should ensure that you mention any medications you are taking and any other important information regarding your health during your online consultation.
Who cannot take it?
You should not use Microgynon pills if you are pregnant, think you are pregnant or if you are breastfeeding. It is also not advised that you use Microgynon if you have recently experienced unexplained vaginal bleeding, a history of circulation problems, heart problems or a stroke.
How do you take it?
You take Microgynon pills as a 21-day contraceptive, followed by a seven-day break before you start your next course. Because your menstrual cycle covers 28 days, you will experience a withdrawal bleed during the seven pill-free days, although you will still be fully protected against pregnancy. You can take it with or without food, but it is important to take Microgynon pills at the same time each day to maximize its protection. Microgynon comes in calendar packs to help you keep track of the pills you are taking on a daily basis.
Are there any Microgynon side effects?
Contraceptives in general are well tolerated; however some people tend to be more sensitive to their active ingredients. If you are using Microgynon for the first time, you may experience some mild side effects that usually disappear within a few days. If the side effects do not disappear, you should try a contraceptive with a different combination of ingredients or use a mini-pill. Some of the most common side effects of Microgynon contraceptive pills include nausea and vomiting, headaches or migraines, breast tenderness or enlargement, weight changes, water retention, vaginal thrush and a change in menstrual bleeding.
