Description
Brevinor tablets are a type of hormonal contraception. They contain the hormone ethinylestradiol and the progestogen norethisterone.
Brevinor is a combined oral contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. It contains two hormones, ethinylestradiol (oestrogen) and norethisterone (progestogen), that work together to stop ovulation, prevent sperm from reaching the uterus, and reduce the likelihood of egg implantation. Brevinor can also be used to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce period pain, and sometimes treat acne when other treatments are ineffective.
How do Brevinor Tablets Work?
Brevinor tablets work by stopping ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). They also thicken the mucus in the cervix, which makes it more difficult for sperm to travel through the cervix and reach the uterus (womb). They are taken every day to prevent pregnancy. Its other benefits include: a reduced risk of ovarian cyst, pelvic inflammation, and fibroids. However, it doesn’t prevent you from acquiring sexually transmitted infections.
It is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when taken correctly. The pill not only prevents ovulation but also thickens cervical mucus and thins the womb lining to prevent fertilization and implantation. The combined pill can also help in making periods more regular, less painful, and lighter.
Directions
Brevinor is recommended for adults above the the age of 18.
- It is to be taken orally (meaning through the mouth)
- Take one tablet daily
- Begin with the tablet on the top row, dated with the correct day of the week.
- After 21 days, take a seven-day break from taking pills to enable your body to recover.
- Begin your new pack on the same day you finished your previous one, using up any remaining pills from that pack (but not any saved).
If one pill is missed, take it as soon as you remember and continue the next dose at the usual time.
If two or more pills are missed, take the most recently missed pill as soon as possible, skip the earlier missed pills, and continue with the pack. Use additional contraception, such as condoms, for the next seven days.
