Logynon

Description

Logynon is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains synthetic versions of the female hormones estrogen (ethinylestradiol) and progestogen (levonorgestrel). These hormones work together to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus. Logynon is suitable for women looking for an effective form of contraception.

Dosage and usage

Remember to take the pills at the same time each day to maintain effectiveness. If you miss a pill, follow the instructions in the package leaflet. The effects of Logynon last throughout the 21-day cycle. If you experience severe side effects or prolonged bleeding, seek medical advice promptly.
