Product Details, Ingredients, and How It Works

What Each Ingredient Does

Desogestrel (progestin)
A third-generation progestin with low androgenic activity. It is less likely to cause androgen-related side effects such as acne and excess hair growth.

Ethinylestradiol (estrogen)
Helps stabilize the uterine lining and reduce irregular bleeding. The 30 μg low-dose formulation is intended to reduce the risk of estrogen-related side effects, such as nausea.

How It Works

  • Prevents ovulation: Feedback to the hypothalamus and pituitary gland suppresses the LH (luteinizing hormone) surge and prevents ovulation.
  • Thickens cervical mucus: Creates an environment that makes it harder for sperm to enter the uterus.
  • Thins the uterine lining: Makes implantation less likely if fertilization occurs.
  • Helps regulate the menstrual cycle: Providing a consistent amount of hormones helps regulate the cycle and may relieve menstrual cramps and PMS symptoms.

Reference: The World Health Organization (WHO) includes combined oral contraceptive pills among contraceptive options. When used correctly, their contraceptive effectiveness is over 99%. (WHO, Family Planning: A Global Handbook for Providers, 2022)

How to Take It

Standard Directions

Step 1: Take the first pill between Day 1 and Day 5 of your period.

Step 2: Take one pill at the same time every day, such as after breakfast or before bed.

Step 3: After taking all 21 pills in one pack, take a 7-day break. Withdrawal bleeding, which may resemble a period, usually occurs during this time.

Step 4: Start the next pack after 7 days. Contraceptive protection continues during the break.

If You Miss a Pill

  • If you remember within 12 hours: Take the missed pill as soon as you remember, then take that day’s pill at the usual time.
  • If more than 12 hours have passed: Take one pill as soon as you remember, then continue taking the pills as usual. Use an additional contraceptive method, such as condoms, for 7 days during that cycle.
