Frequently Asked Questions

What is Microgynon 30 used for?

Microgynon 30 is a combined oral contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. It contains two synthetic hormones, ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel, which work together to stop ovulation and make it harder for sperm to reach an egg or for an egg to implant in the womb.

How should I take Microgynon 30?

Take one pill daily at the same time each day for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break during which you will likely have a withdrawal bleed. After the 7-day break, start a new pack.

What should I do if I miss a pill?

If you miss one pill, take it as soon as you remember and then continue with the next pill at the regular time, which might mean taking two pills in one day. If you miss two or more pills, take one as soon as you remember and discard the rest, then continue with the next pill at the regular time. Use additional contraception for the next seven days.
