Ovranette is a monophasic combined contraceptive pill, which means it contains the same level of hormones in each tablets. Whilst each blister pack is clearly labelled with the day, you can take each tablet in a different order over the course of 21 days, making it easier to stay protected.
Being a combined pill, Ovranette contains synthetic oestrogen and synthetic progesterone to override your natural menstrual cycle safely to prevent pregnancy. By doing this, and when taken correctly, Ovranette provides near total protection as well as other benefits:
Ovranette can be prescribed to women experiencing irregular and/or painful periods without being needed as a contraceptive.
If taken at the right time in your cycle, the first day of your period, Ovranette contraceptive pills can provide you with immediate protection against pregnancy. This contraceptive is taken only once a day, for 21 days out of your full 28-day cycle, and provides you with almost 100% contraceptive cover.
This contraceptive contains artificial oestrogen and progesterone, ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel respectively, which means that it works in three ways to prevent pregnancy.
If taken correctly, Ovranette contraceptive pills prevent ovulation by making your body believe that ovulation has already occurred. The ingredients in Ovranette contraceptive pills also means that this contraceptive doesn't allow your womb lining to thicken enough so that an egg can't grow inside. Combined contraceptives such as Ovranette also prevent pregnancy by keeping sperm cells away from the womb by thickening the cervical mucus to the extent that makes it almost impossible for sperm to break through.
Ovranette must be taken every day for 21 days to be fully effective.
Ovranette should be taken on the first day of your period for it to be immediately effective. Alternatively, when starting your course of Ovranette, you will have to wait seven days for the pill to become fully effective so continue to take the pill but just remember to use a condom for up to seven days.
Ovranette pills are 21-day pills, which means that it should be taken for 21 consecutive days followed by seven pill-free days. After the seven-day break, you should start taking the next pack of Ovranette pills. During the seven days you will experience a withdrawal bleed, but you will still be protected throughout if you choose to have sex during this time. Similar to your period, a withdrawal bleed helps your body remove all the additional hormones it has been supplemented with.
Ovranette is only available in one dosage and each tablet contains the same amount of hormones. This is 150mcg of levonorgestrel (synthetic progesterone) and 30mcg of ethinylestradiol (synthetic oestrogen).
Most healthy women over the age of 18 can buy Ovranette pills online as a method of contraception, or to help manage discomforting periods. However, some women may not be able to use the pill because of their medical history or the medications they are currently taking. That is why it is so important to mention any of these medications during your free online consultation.
You should not take Ovranette pills if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have heart, liver or circulation problems, or if you are over 35 and a smoker. Taking medications like vitamin C and St John's Wort might also influence how effective Ovranette is.
Ovranette is generally well tolerated for the vast majority of women, but some do experience side effects when using it. Sometimes women experience mild side effects when they use this type of oral contraceptive for the first time, this may just be because the body isn't used to the additional hormones contained in the pill. If this is the case, it is advised to stick with Ovranette for three months and see whether the side effects subside.
Most side effects will normally pass within a couple of days once the body has adapted. The most common side effects of Ovranette pills includes.
