Patient Reviews: How Microgynon Has Made a Difference

Treatment Information

Table of contents:

About Microgynon

Microgynon is a combined hormonal contraceptive containing the progestogen, levonorgestrel and the oestrogen, ethinylestradiol.

It is one of the most reliable, reversible and safe oral contraceptives available. It is 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. Microgynon does not prevent STIs such as Chlamydia or HIV.


How does it work?

Microgynon works by stopping ovulation and increasing the viscosity of cervical fluid, thereby decreasing the motility of sperm cells and mitigating fertilisation. It also prevents the thickening of the uterus lining, which is required for a fertilised egg to grow.

It has the added benefit of relieving period pain and heavy menstrual bleeding.


How to take Microgynon

The pill is taken once a day for 21 days, preferably at the same time each day. This is followed by a 7-day pill-free period. During the pill-free period, you will experience a lighter and less painful menstrual bleed. A new 21-day tablet cycle is started after the 7-day pill-free period.

If you do not experience bleeding during the pill-free period, you must ensure you are not pregnant before starting the next tablet cycle.


Stay safe with Prescription Doctor

Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. We strongly recommend that you read the patient information leaflet to fully understand the medication you are taking. This way, you are aware of the benefits and risks associated with Microgynon.

It may not be safe to take Microgynon if you have any of the following:

  • Pregnant or Breastfeeding
  • Current or previous history of Breast Cancer

  • Current or previous history of Blood Clots (thrombosis of any kind)
  • Current or previous history of liver disorders
  • Severe Hypertension
  • Migraines
  • Uncontrolled Diabetes

Adverse effects

Microgynon is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. However, it is important to be aware of the adverse effects. It is always better to be prepared, and we recommend familiarising yourself with Microgynon before use. Our doctors are available to provide one-to-one expert advice if you suspect any unusual effects may be due to Microgynon.

You can experience:

  • Nausea and mild stomach pains
  • Headaches
  • Weight Gain

If you experience any of the following, stop taking Microgynon and consult with your doctor for further advice.

  • Unexplained lump in the breast or changes in the nipple
  • Unusual vaginal bleed, vaginal discharge containing blood
  • Pelvic pain or painful sex
  • Yellowing of the skin (jaundice)
  • Swelling of the legs or chest

Microgynon and other medications

There are some medications that can be unsafe to take with Microgynon. It is essential to inform the doctor if you are taking any other medications to ensure they are safe to use with Microgynon.

Please inform our doctor if you are on:

  • Anti – epileptics such as Carbamazepine, Phenytoin or Topiramate
  • St John's Wort or other medicinal antidepressants
  • Anti-coagulants such as Phenindione
  • Rifamycin Antibiotics
