Microgynon 30 ED as a Contraception

Microgynon 30 ED is a reversible contraceptive pill to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Microgynon 30 ED is a birth control pill that is taken consecutively for 21 days with a seven-day break.

Microgynon 30 ED is a monophasic contraceptive that contains two types of female sex hormones, oestrogen and progestogen.
