Frequently asked questions

What is Microgyn used for?+
Microgyn is a combined oral contraceptive indicated to prevent unintended pregnancy in women of reproductive age. By delivering both estrogen and progestin, it suppresses ovulation and creates cervical mucus conditions that hinder sperm movement, providing reliable birth control when taken as prescribed.
How does Ethinylestradiol / Levonorgestrel work?+
Ethinylestradiol supplies estrogenic activity while levonorgestrel provides progestogenic action. Together they inhibit the hypothalamic‑pituitary release of LH and FSH, preventing follicular development and ovulation. The progestin also thickens cervical mucus and alters the endometrium, reducing the chance of fertilization and implantation.
What is the usual dose of Microgyn?+
The dosing regimen for Microgyn is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, the product is taken as one tablet daily at the same time each day, but the exact schedule and any missed‑dose instructions are provided by the prescriber.
Is Microgyn safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Microgyn is not intended for use during pregnancy and should be discontinued if pregnancy occurs. Limited data are available for breastfeeding; while some combined oral contraceptives are considered compatible, the decision should be made by a healthcare provider based on individual risk‑benefit assessment.
How do I order Microgyn from GNH USA?+
To order Microgyn, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements), and necessary import documentation.
How does Microgyn compare with other combined oral contraceptives?+
Microgyn contains the widely used estrogen ethinyloestradiol paired with levonorgestrel, a second‑generation progestin. Compared with pills that use newer progestins, levonorgestrel offers a well‑characterized safety profile and reliable contraceptive efficacy, though individual tolerability and risk factors (e.g., clotting risk) may influence product selection.
How should Microgyn be stored?+
Microgyn tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original blister pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product stability throughout its shelf life.
How is Microgyn given or administered?+
Microgyn is administered orally as a tablet. The usual practice is to take one tablet each day, preferably at the same time, with or without food. Consistent daily intake maintains hormone levels needed for effective contraception.
What are the most serious risks to watch for while using Microgyn?+
The most serious risks include thromboembolic events such as deep‑vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke, and myocardial infarction. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience unexplained leg pain, swelling, chest pain, shortness of breath, or sudden severe headache.
Who should not use Microgyn?+
Microgyn is contraindicated in women with a history of thromboembolic disorders, known or suspected estrogen‑dependent tumors, uncontrolled hypertension, severe liver disease, or those who are pregnant. It is also unsuitable for smokers over 35 years of age and for individuals with known hypersensitivity to any component of the tablet.
