Uses
Combined oral contraceptive indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women of reproductive age. Also used in the management of dysmenorrhea and dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Do not use if
Contraindicated in smokers over 35 years, patients with history of thromboembolic disorders, stroke, liver disease, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, known or suspected breast or estrogen-dependent cancers, and during pregnancy.
Side effects
Common side effects include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, mood changes, and spotting or breakthrough bleeding, especially in the first months of use. Rare but serious risks include venous thromboembolism.

How it works
Ethynyl estradiol is a synthetic estrogen that suppresses the mid-cycle LH surge, preventing ovulation. Gestodene is a third-generation progestogen with high progestogenic and low androgenic activity that also contributes to inhibition of ovulation and alteration of the endometrium and cervical mucus.
Storage
Store below 25°C, away from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
