Buy Ovranette

Ovranette is a combined contraceptive pill for women containing the active ingredients levonorgestrel and ethinylestradiol. These ingredients are synthetic versions of the natural female sex hormones progestogen and oestrogen, which work to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovaries), thickening the fluid in the cervix and keeping the lining of the womb thin enough to prevent an egg from growing.

How Ovranette prevents pregnancy

Ovranette contains 150mg of the progestogen levonorgestrel and 30mg of the oestrogen ethinylestradiol. These hormones stop you from getting pregnant by preventing the release of an egg from your ovaries; making the fluid in your cervix thicker and therefore more difficult for sperm to get through into the womb; and by preventing the lining of your womb from becoming thick enough for an egg to grow.

 

Directions

Ovranette comes in strips of 21 pills, each marked with a day of the week so it’s easier for you to keep track. Swallow each pill whole with water if needed - do not try to crush or chew the tablets. You should take one pill per day, at the same time each day, until you’ve taken all of the 21 pills in the strip.

Once you’ve taken all 21 pills, you should have a seven-day break where you will take no pills at all. This will cause a withdrawal bleed similar to a period. If you’re still bleeding after the 7-day break and you’re due to start your next strip, you should still start this next strip as usual.

Starting Ovranette

The best time to start taking Ovranette for the first time is on the first day of your period. By starting your pill at this time, you will be protected from pregnancy straight away and you won’t need to use another method of contraception. If you start taking Ovranette on any other day, you should use barrier contraception, such as a condom, for the first 7 days of pill use.

If you’re changing from a different type of hormonal contraception, such as another contraceptive pill or an implant, refer to the patient information leaflet about how to switch to Ovranette.

 

Side Effects

Like all medicines, there is a possibility that you may experience side effects when taking Eloine. These should usually be mild, and not everyone will experience them. If you experience any signs of severe side effects, such as an allergic reaction or a blood clot, seek medical attention immediately. Common side effects that may affect up to 1 in 10 people include: 

  • Mood swings
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Breast pain
  • Irregular periods
  • Absence of periods

For information about uncommon and rare side effects, refer to the patient information leaflet. If you experience any side effects, including any not included in the patient information leaflet, you can report them using the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the pill be used to treat acne?

Combined contraceptive pills are not specific treatments for acne.

However, some doctors will prescribe a combined contraceptive pill to women who suffer from hormonal acne, as there does seem to be a beneficial effect.

This is only the case with combined contraceptive pills, not progestogen-only mini-pills.

It can take around 2-3 months of taking the pill before you may notice any effect on your acne.

What should I do if I miss a pill?

If you’re less than 24 hours late in taking a pill, your protection from pregnancy won’t be reduced.

If you’re more than 24 hours late, you will have to use a barrier method of contraception.

The more pills you miss, the greater your risk of becoming pregnant.

Take the forgotten tablet as soon as you remember, even if that means you have to take two at the same time, and use an extra method of contraception for the next 7 days.

 

If you are sick or have severe diarrhoea within 3-4 hours of taking the pill, your body may not have absorbed the active substances in the pill.

If you can’t manage to take a spare pill within 24 hours of vomiting or having severe diarrhoea, you should follow the instructions on what to do in the event of a missed pill.

Can the pill increase the risk of breast cancer?

Breast cancer has been found slightly more often in women who take a contraceptive pill compared to women who don’t.

Once you stop taking the pill, the risk gradually decreases and 10 years after stopping the pill the risk will be the same as someone who has never taken a contraceptive pill.

Breast cancer is still rare for anyone under the age of 40, even in women who take the pill.

What is the link between Ovranette and blood clots?

Using a combined contraceptive pill like Ovranette can increase your risk of developing a blood clot.

Whilst still rare, the risk is highest during the first year of taking the pill, and you should be aware of the symptoms.

Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any of the following symptoms: 

  • Throbbing or cramping pain, swelling, redness and warmth in your leg or arm
  • Sudden breathlessness, sharp chest pain and a cough or coughing up blood

For further information on the link between the combined contraceptive pill and blood clots, refer to the patient information leaflet. 

Do I need a prescription for this medication?

You do need a prescription for this medication in the UK.

Our healthcare professionals can provide prescriptions if they think this treatment would be right for you and your condition.

When you click the button which reads “Start Consultation” at the top of this page, you’ll see a short questionnaire set up by our healthcare team which is designed to help them understand your medical needs.

Just like an in-person consultation with your GP, our doctors will assess your answers to their questions and write a prescription for the treatment they think will be best for you.

You’ll then be able to pay for your medication and we’ll send it out to you quickly and in discreet packaging.
