    What is Microgynon 30?

    The Microgynon Pill or Microgynon 30 is a prescription medicine used to prevent pregnancy. Alternatives to include the Microgynon Combined Pill is Microgynon 30 ED. Microgynon contains oestrogen and progestogen which are two types of female sex hormones. We are often asked “What is Microgynon and how does it work?” Microgynon is a 21-day course, followed by 7 days of taking no Microgynon pill.  

    Contraceptive Pill Microgynon

    Once a man’s sperm reaches a women’s egg, the women can become pregnant. Contraception is an artificial way of stopping this from happening. This is accomplished by:
    • Egg and sperm being kept apart
    • Halted egg production
    • The egg and sperm no longer attaching to womb lining
    For most people in the UK, contraception is free, with condoms available at a wide variety of pharmacies and supermarkets. The Contraceptive Pill Microgynon, is one such method, with over 15 other methods to choose from. Other methods include the use of condoms, but these should be used alongside other contraceptive measures. This helps to protect the sexual health of you and your partner.  

    Is Microgynon a Combined Pill?

    A combined pill is also known as “the pill”. A combined pill contains two artificial versions of female hormones, oestrogen and progesterone, which are produced naturally in women’s ovaries. Microgynon includes both and is considered a combined pill. So, Is Microgynon A Combined Pill? Yes, Microgynon is a combined contraceptive pill.  

    How To Take Microgynon

    Before being prescribed Microgynon, please be aware of How To Take Microgynon by reading the below. To prevent pregnancy, always take Microgynon Contraceptive Pill as listed. Take Microgynon 30 every day for 21 days, naturally concluding the course. Each packet of Microgynon contraceptive pill has strips of 21 pills, each marked with a specified day. Take your pill at the same time every day. Make sure the pill is swallowed whole. Once the course is finished, have 7 days of pill-free days.  

    Microgynon Missed Pill or Period

    If any pills in a strip are missed, and you do not bleed in the first pill-free week, you may be pregnant. If this is suspected, take a pregnancy test. A Microgynon Missed Pill or Microgynon Missed Period can mean your birth control is no longer effective. If a new strip of Microgynon pills is taken late the pill may not be actively protecting you from pregnancy. If this is the case, emergency contraception should be considered.  

    Microgynon Missed Period

    Sometimes, you may miss a withdrawal bleed. This could indicate that you’re pregnant, however that’s unlikely if pills are taken correctly. The next strip should be taken at the regular time. If you think you may be at risk of getting pregnant, take a pregnancy test. If the test is positive and you’re pregnant stop taking Microgynon pill and see a doctor.  

    Microgynon Side Effects

    If you experience any of the Microgynon Side Effects listed below, talk to a doctor. Tell your pharmacist or doctor if you are worried about any Microgynon side effects. The most serious side effects – if you experience any of these, see a doctor straight away. Further information and help can be sought from Microgynon Contraceptive Pill patient leaflet.  

    Microgynon Acne

    Microgynon Acne is not a side effect of taking Microgynon 30. Not only are contraceptive pills generally not a cause for acne, they seem to be effective at preventing it in the long term. If you’ve switched to an oral contraceptive and have noticed a sudden outbreak of acne, birth control is unlikely to be the cause. It’s more likely to be due to normal hormone fluctuations. The pill won’t have had enough time in your system to prevent outbreaks from occurring.  

    Rigevidon vs Microgynon

    Microgynon and Rigevidon are the most commonly used contraceptive pills, containing the same ingredients. They are combined pills, meaning they contain oestrogen and progesterone. When considering Rigevidon vs Microgynon – Both are essentially the same. Rigevidon contains different non-active ingredients. Rigevidon is the cheapest.

    Microgynon 30 Alternatives

    All of these contain Ethinylestradiol 30mgs & Levonorgestrel 150mgs Microgynon pill has many alternatives and alternative names, these include –
    • Levest
    • Ovranette
    • Rigevidon
    • Microgynon 30 ED (Includes a week of placebo tablets, helps with people who are more likely to forget to take the daily pill.)
    Other alternative contraception methods include –
  • Combined Oral Contraceptive

    The combined oral contraceptive pill is usually just called “the pill”. It contains the female hormones oestrogen and progesterone, which women produce naturally in their ovaries.
    The Combined pill is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

    The usual way to take the pill is to take one every day for 21 days, then stop for seven days, and during this week you have a period-type bleed. You start taking the pill again after seven days.
    You need to take the pill at around the same time every day. You could get pregnant if you don’t do this, or if you miss a pill, or vomit or have severe diarrhoea.

    Some medicines may make the pill less effective. Check with your doctor if you’re taking any other tablets.
    If you have heavy periods or painful periods, PMS (premenstrual syndrome) or endometriosis the combined pill may help.

    The pill does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), so using a condom as well will help to protect you against STIs.

    How the combined pill works

    1) prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg each month (ovulation).
    2)thickens the mucus in the neck of the womb, so it is harder for sperm to penetrate the womb and reach an egg
    3)thins the lining of the womb, so there is less chance of a fertilised egg implanting into the womb and being able to grow

    There are many different brands of pill, made up of three main types:

    Monophasic 21-day pills
    This is the most common type. Each pill has the same amount of hormone in it. One pill is taken each day for 21 days and then no pills are taken for the next seven days. Microgynon, Marvelon, Yasmin and Cilest are examples of this type of pill.

    Phasic 21-day pills
    Phasic pills contain two or three sections of different coloured pills in a pack. Each section contains a different amount of hormones. One pill is taken each day for 21 days and then no pills are taken for the next seven days. Phasic pills need to be taken in the right order. Logynon is an example of this type of pill.

    Every day (ED) pills
    There are 21 active pills and seven inactive (dummy) pills in a pack. The two types of pill look different. One pill is taken each day for 28 days with no break between packets of pills. Every day pills need to be taken in the right order. Microgynon ED is an example of this type of pill.

    Follow the instructions that come with your packet. If you have any questions, ask your GP, practice nurse or pharmacist.

     

    What to do if you miss a pill

    If you continue to be sick, keep using another form of contraception until you’ve taken the pill again for seven days without vomiting.

    Who can use the combined pill
    If there are no medical reasons why you cannot take the pill, and you don’t smoke, you can take the pill until your menopause. However, the pill is not suitable for all women. To find out whether the pill is right for you, talk to your GP, practice nurse or pharmacist.

    You should not take the pill if you:

    are pregnant
    smoke and are 35 or older
    stopped smoking less than a year ago and are 35 or older
    are very overweight
    take certain medicines (ask your GP or a health professional at a contraception clinic about this)

    You should also not take the pill if you have (or have had):

    thrombosis (a blood clot) in a vein, for example in your leg or lungs
    stroke or any other disease that narrows the arteries
    anyone in your close family having a blood clot under the age of 45
    a heart abnormality or heart disease, including high blood pressure
    severe migraines, especially with aura (warning symptoms)
    breast cancer
    disease of the gallbladder or liver
    diabetes with complications or diabetes for the past 20 years

     

    Risks of taking the combined pill
    There are some risks associated with using the combined contraceptive pill. However, these risks are small and, for most women, the benefits of the pill outweigh the risks.

    Blood clots
    The oestrogen in the pill may cause your blood to clot more readily. If a blood clot develops, it could cause:

    deep vein thrombosis (clot in your leg)
    pulmonary embolus (clot in your lung)
    stroke
    heart attack
    The risk of getting a blood clot is very small, but your doctor will check if you have certain risk factors that before prescribing the pill.

    The pill can be taken with caution if you have one of the risk factors below. It is unlikely you would be advised to take it if you have two or more risk factors.
    These include:

    being 35 years old or over
    being a smoker or having quit smoking in the past year
    being very overweight (in women with a BMI of 35 or over, the risks of using the pill usually outweigh the benefits)
    having migraines (you should not take the pill if you have severe or regular migraine attacks, especially if you get aura or a warning sign before an attack)
    having high blood pressure
    having had a blood clot or stroke in the past
    having a close relative who had a blood clot when they were younger than 45
    being immobile for a long time – for example, in a wheelchair or with a leg in plaster
    Cancer
    Research is ongoing into the link between breast cancer and the pill. Research suggests that users of all types of hormonal contraception have a slightly higher chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer compared with women who do not use them. However, 10 years after you stop taking the pill, your risk of breast cancer goes back to normal.

    Research has also suggested a link between the pill and the risk of developing cervical cancer and a rare form of liver cancer. However, the pill does offer some protection against developing womb (endometrial) cancer, ovarian cancer and colon cancer.
