Frequently asked questions

What is Miranova used for?+
Miranova is a combined oral contraceptive containing ethinyloestradiol and levonorgestrel. It is prescribed primarily to prevent pregnancy in women of reproductive age. The formulation may also be used to regulate menstrual cycles and to manage hormone‑related acne, depending on clinical judgment.
How does ethinyloestradiol/levonorgestrel work?+
Ethinyloestradiol provides estrogenic activity that stabilises the uterine lining, while levonorgestrel, a progestogen, suppresses the mid‑cycle luteinising hormone surge, thereby inhibiting ovulation. Together they thicken cervical mucus and produce endometrial changes that reduce the likelihood of implantation.
What is the usual dose of Miranova?+
The dosing regimen for Miranova 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 Miranova safe to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?+
Miranova is not intended for use during pregnancy; it is a contraceptive meant to prevent pregnancy. If pregnancy occurs, the product should be discontinued. Limited data are available for breastfeeding, and clinicians usually weigh the benefits against potential risks before prescribing to nursing mothers.

Miranova is taken orally, usually as one tablet each day, preferably at the same time each day. The tablets are swallowed whole with water and should be started on the first day of the menstrual cycle or as directed by a healthcare professional.
What are the most serious risks associated with Miranova?+
The most serious risks include thromboembolic events such as deep‑vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, and cardiovascular complications like stroke or myocardial infarction.

Who should not use Miranova?+
Miranova is contraindicated in women with a history of thromboembolic disorders, uncontrolled hypertension, known or suspected breast cancer, active liver disease, or those who are pregnant.
