What is MICROGYNON 30 ED used for and how does it work ------------------------------------------------------------- MICROGYNON 30 ED is a combined oral
contraceptive (often called "the
Pill") consisting of 21 hormonal tablets and 7 non-hormonal tablets. Each small beige hormonal tablet contains a small amount of two different
female hormones. These are levonorgestrel (a progestogen) and ethinylestradiol (an estrogen). Because of the small amount of hormones, MICROGYNON 30 ED is considered to be a low-dose combined oral
contraceptive preparation. MICROGYNON 30 ED also contains 7 large white non-hormonal tablets that do not contain any active ingredients. How does MICROGYNON 30 ED work? Combined oral
contraceptive Pills, such as MICROGYNON 30 ED, provide one of the most effective reversible methods of contraception known. Usually, when MICROGYNON 30 ED is taken according to the instructions, the egg cells (normally released by the ovary each month) are prevented from maturing to the point where they can be fertilised. In addition, the cervical mucus remains thick, so it is more difficult for a man's sperm to enter the womb. Also, the lining of the womb is not prepared sufficiently for a fertilised egg to grow in. What is MICROGYNON 30 ED used for? MICROGYNON 30 ED is used to prevent pregnancy. Combined oral
contraceptives are a very effective method of birth control. When taken correctly (without missing tablets) the chance of becoming pregnant is very low (approximately 1% per year). The failure rate may increase when tablets are missed or taken incorrectly.
