Millinette

Millinette as a Contraception

Millinette is a form of combined contraception with a low dose that is taken to prevent unwanted pregnancy for women. It is an oral birth control pill to be taken consecutively for 21 days with a 7-day break or alternatively, depending on your consultation with the GP or doctor. It also helps alleviate symptoms of menstruation.

What is Millinette and how does it work?

The pill contains low-dose synthetic progesterone and oestrogen. These hormones are also produced by the body. Millinette works by altering the hormonal balance of the body to prevent ovulation by making the lining of the uterus less receptive to egg implantation.
