Microgynon 30

To effectively prevent pregnancy, you should take one Microgynon 30 pill at the same time each day for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break where you do not take any pills. Start the next pack after the 7-day break even if your period has not finished. Remember to follow the arrow indicators on the pack to ensure you take the pills in the correct order. If you miss a pill, refer to the patient leaflet for instructions on what to do. The effects of Microgynon 30 last for one cycle. If you experience persistent side effects or forget to take a pill, consult your healthcare provider.

Each Microgynon 30 pill contains 150 micrograms of levonorgestrel and 30 micrograms of ethinylestradiol, along with other inactive ingredients such as lactose, maize starch, povidone, magnesium stearate, sucrose, macrogol, talc, titanium dioxide (E171), and calcium carbonate.

Common side effects of Microgynon 30 include nausea, headaches, breast tenderness, and changes in menstrual bleeding. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include chest pain, shortness of breath, severe abdominal pain, and severe headaches. If you experience symptoms of a blood clot, such as swelling or pain in the legs, seek medical help promptly.

Do not use Microgynon 30 if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of blood clots, heart attack, stroke, or certain cancers. Inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you have and medications you are taking before starting Microgynon 30. If you have a history of migraines, high blood pressure, or liver problems, consult your doctor before using this contraceptive. Remember that Microgynon 30 does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
