Description

Microgynon 30 is a combined oral contraceptive (COC) containing ethinylestradiol (0.03 mg) and levonorgestrel (0.15 mg). It works primarily by inhibiting ovulation, which means it prevents the release of an egg from the ovaries. Additionally, it thickens the cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus, and alters the uterine lining to make it less suitable for implantation.

This combination pill is used mainly for contraception, but it’s also indicated for treating menstrual disorders like dysmenorrhea (painful periods), endometriosis or ovulation-related pain.

By regulating hormone levels, Microgynon 30 stabilizes the menstrual cycle, often resulting in lighter and more predictable periods. It can reduce menstrual pain and heavy bleeding, and help manage hormonal symptoms such as acne or PMS. It also lowers the risk of ovarian cysts and reduces the likelihood of developing endometrial or ovarian cancer.

One of the main benefits of Microgynon 30 is its high contraceptive reliability when taken correctly. It may also lead to improved skin condition, fewer premenstrual symptoms, and a reduction in anemia related to menstrual blood loss.

This medication is suitable for adults who need reliable birth control or therapeutic management of menstrual or reproductive disorders. It’s not appropriate for those with certain medical conditions, including a history of thromboembolism, hormone-related cancers, or severe liver disease.
