Product Info

Ovranette is a form of oral contraceptive which is almost 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. It is also known as levorgestrel. Ovranette is a popular choice of contraception for women who suffer long and painful periods, or endometriosis, as it is proven to reduce the symptoms of these conditions.

Ovranette birth control pills contain two artificial hormones: ethinylestradiol (oestrogen) and levonorgestrel (progestogen). These hormones stop the process of ovulation, so an egg is not released to be fertilised. The womb lining is also made thinner so if an egg were released it would not be able to implant itself. Finally, the cervical mucus is made too thick for a sperm to be able to travel through to the womb.

Benefits of Ovranette

Ovranette is a convenient and safe method of contraception and is almost 100% effective as a method of pregnancy prevention. It can also have benefits like regulating your periods and reducing associated painful symptoms such as cramps. Women who suffer endometriosis are often prescribed this pill as it is an effective treatment for the condition.

Side effects and risks

Ovranette is considered to be very safe, however like all prescription medications there is a small chance of adverse side effects. If they do arise, they will usually be mild and will not last for very long. More common side effects include headaches, nausea, abdominal pain and changes to your sex drive or weight.

Ovranette is suitable for most women over the age of 18. However, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are allergic to any of the ingredients, you will not be able to take this contraceptive pill safely. You may also not be prescribed this medication if you are a smoker over the age of 35, have problems with your heart, kidney or liver, or have problems with your circulation.

How to take Ovranette contraceptive pills

If you want to be protected against pregnancy immediately, you should take the first Ovranette pill of the pack on the first day of your period. If you take it at another point in your cycle, you will need to wait seven days before it is fully effective. In this time, you should use a backup method of contraception, such as a condom. You should take one pill at the same time every day for 21 days, after which you will have a seven day break. You will still be protected during these seven days, and will likely experience a withdrawal bleed.
