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.
You should take one Logynon pill every day for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break where you don't take any pills. Start each new pack on the eighth day, even if you are still bleeding. 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.
