Ovranette is a type of hormonal contraception, it is more commonly known as the ‘the pill’, ‘combination pill’ or ‘combined oral contraceptive pill’. As well as assisting in preventing unwanted pregnancies, this medication can also be prescribed to treat Endometriosis and Menstrual disorders. It contains, ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel which are the active ingredients in this contraception. These active compositions are synthetic versions of naturally occurring female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone. Another benefit of taking Ovranette is that it can result in lighter, less painful and more regular menstrual bleeding.
The two active ingredients in Ovranette ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel override a woman’s natural menstrual cycle.
To prevent pregnancy an unwanted pregnancy, ethinylestradiol which is a synthetic oestrogen, and levonorgestrel which is a synthetic progesterone, ‘trick’ the body in thinking think that ovulation has already occurred.
In so doing, an egg won’t be ripened and released each month. As well as tricking the body into thinking an egg has been release Ovranette also makes it harder for sperm to cross from the vagina into the womb and fertilise an egg if there is one there, by increasing the thickness of the natural mucus at the entrance to the womb.
This double action offers double the protection from pregnancy however another effect of this pill is that it also changes the quality of the womb lining making it difficult for a fertilised egg to become implanted on there.
Taking Ovranette which is a monophasic pill (meaning that each tablet has the same dosage of hormones contained within), should be started on the first day of your menstrual cycle and will give you protection from pregnancy. If you forget to take a pill, don’t worry – simply take the next one as planned and try to ingest the treatment as a routine, i.e. at the same time of day.
