Description

Microgynon 30 is a widely used combined oral contraceptive pill that provides 99% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy when taken as directed. Containing two active ingredients, ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel (synthetic versions of estrogen and progesterone), Microgynon 30 works by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining to reduce the likelihood of fertilization and implantation.

Available from MedCare Health Clinic, Microgynon 30 offers a straightforward solution for contraception with added benefits, including lighter, more regular periods, reduced menstrual cramps, and potential improvement in hormonal acne.
