Safety information about the oral contraceptive pill

Some women criticize birth control pills saying they are unsafe and increase the risk of health complications. Agree or disagree, the pill is the safest form of contraceptive coverage available and has protected more women from getting pregnant than any other form of contraception. Microgynon is among the many birth control pills that have set the benchmark for safety and reliability. It is a combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP) that contains a synthetic progestogen and estrogen.

How do I know if Microgynon is safe for me?

The same birth control pill can produce different results in different women, although it is one of the safest hormonal contraceptives available. Since they interfere with the hormonal function of the body, it is difficult to predict the exact effect it will have on the user. Talking to a doctor is a sensible way to find the right pill for you. Your doctor may prescribe Microgynon if you do not have:

blood clot problems

Systemic lupus erythematosus

heart valve condition

History of breast cancer, gallstones, stroke, heart attack, or liver problems

severe diabetes

genital tract cancer

rotor syndrome

high blood pressure

Microgynon should not be taken if you are obese or over 50 years of age. Women who smoke heavily should also not take the drug. Talk to a doctor for more information about precautions to take when using combined birth control pills.

Understanding the risk of deep vein thrombosis

Microgynon contains ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel as active ingredients. Ethinyl estradiol is a synthetic estrogen and levonorgestrel is a second-generation synthetic progestogen. Compared to single-hormone pills, these combination pills carry a higher risk of developing deep vein thrombosis. The risk is usually greatest during the first year of pregnancy and you should take hormonal birth control only when ordered by your doctor.

Safety after surgery

Post-surgical safety measures should be taken when using birth control pills. It is recommended not to start a regular contraceptive regimen with Microgynon immediately after surgery, particularly leg surgery. Wait for full recovery and then start taking the pill.

Microgynon and pregnancy

Pregnancy is a delicate time in a woman’s life and it is highly recommended that you refrain from using hormonal contraceptive methods while pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not take Microgynon pills even when she is planning to get pregnant. Taking the drug while breastfeeding can harm the baby. This is because estrogen tends to affect the production of breast milk. Most doctors recommend a progestin-only pill for women who are breastfeeding their babies.

Availability of Microgynon

Like many other oral contraceptives, Microgynon is also available online at online clinics. You just need to visit such a clinic and select a package of your choice. You can choose with a smaller package to start with and then decide whether or not you want to continue the medication long-term. Once you select your package, you will be taken to the free medical consultation page where you will need to provide details of your current and past health conditions along with your birth control preferences. An EU registered doctor will thoroughly assess your health before approving treatment for you. If you are deemed eligible to take Microgynon, a prescription will first be mailed to you, followed by overnight delivery of the medication in discreet packaging.

Ordering Microgynon online guarantees comfort and confidentiality. You can simply get your pill at home. Be sure to keep an extra pack of pills on hand so you don’t miss a single dose after your current pack runs out.
