Microlut 30 Tab

Description

Microlut 30 Tab contains levonorgestrel at a low dose and is a type of oral contraceptive, often referred to as a progestogen-only pill (POP) or mini-pill. Each pack typically contains 30 tablets. Microlut works primarily by thickening the mucus at the cervix, making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus. It can also prevent ovulation in some women and alter the lining of the uterus to make it less receptive to implantation. Key information includes:

• Progestogen-Only Contraceptive: Contains only levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestogen hormone. It does not contain estrogen.
• Low Dose Levonorgestrel: The amount of levonorgestrel in each tablet is low compared to combination oral contraceptives.
• 30 Tablets per Pack: Designed for a 30-day cycle of contraception.
• Primary Mechanism of Action: Thickens cervical mucus, hindering sperm movement.
• Secondary Mechanisms: May also inhibit ovulation and affect the uterine lining.
• Suitable for Some Women: POPs like Microlut can be an option for women who cannot take estrogen-containing contraceptives, such as those with certain medical conditions or who are breastfeeding.
• Prescription Required: Microlut is a prescription medication and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
• Dosage and Administration: One tablet is usually taken orally at the same time each day, without any breaks between packs. Consistent daily intake is crucial for effectiveness. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
• Potential Side Effects: Common side effects can include changes in menstrual bleeding patterns (which can be irregular, lighter, heavier, or absent), headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, and mood changes. These are usually mild and temporary.
• Important Considerations: The effectiveness of POPs can be reduced if a pill is taken more than 3 hours late (or 12 hours late for some newer formulations). Interactions with other medications can also occur. Discuss your medical history and any other medications you are taking with your doctor.
