l What Microgynon 30 ED does

Microgynon 30 ED is a combined oral contraceptive pill (‘the Pill’). You take it to stop you getting pregnant.

This contraceptive contains two types of female sex hormones, oestrogen and progestogen. These hormones stop you getting pregnant by working in three ways: by preventing an egg being released from your ovaries; by making the fluid (mucus) in your cervix thicker, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb; and by preventing the lining of your womb thickening enough for an egg to grow in it.

Microgynon 30 ED is taken every day without a break. You take an ‘active pill' each day for 21 days, followed by an ‘inactive pill' each day for 7 days.

The benefits of taking the Pill include:

►    it is one of the most reliable reversible methods of contraception if used correctly

►    it doesn't interrupt sex

►    it usually makes your periods regular, lighter and less painful

►    it may help with pre-menstrual symptoms.

Microgynon 30 ED will not protect you against sexually transmitted infections, such as Chlamydia or HIV. Only condoms can help to do this.

Microgynon 30 ED needs to be taken as directed to prevent pregnancy.

What you need to know before you use Microgynon 30 ED General notes

Before you start using Microgynon 30 ED you should read the information on blood clots in section 2. It is particularly important to read the symptoms of a blood clot - see Section 2.3 ‘Blood clots'.

It's important that you understand the benefits and risks of taking the Pill before you start taking it, or when deciding whether to carry on taking it. Although the Pill is suitable for most healthy women it isn't suitable for everyone.

J Tell your doctor if you have any of the illnesses or risk factors mentioned in this booklet.

#

Before you start taking the Pill

►    Your doctor will ask about you and your family's medical problems, check your blood pressure and exclude the likelihood of you being pregnant. You may also need other checks, such as a breast examination, but only if these examinations are necessary for you, or if you have any special concerns.

While you’re on the Pill

►    You will need regular check-ups with your doctor or family planning nurse, usually when you need another prescription of the Pill.

►    You should go for regular cervical smear tests.

►    If you’re going to have an operation, make sure your doctor knows about it. You may need to stop taking the Pill about 4-6 weeks before the operation. This is to reduce the risk of a blood clot (see section 2.3). Your doctor will tell you when you can start taking the Pill again.

2.3 Blood clots

Using a combined hormonal contraceptive such as Microgynon 30 ED increases your risk of developing a blood clot compared with not using one. In rare cases a blood clot can block vessels and cause serious problems.

Blood clots can develop:

►    in veins (referred to as a ‘venous thrombosis', ‘venous thromboembolism' or VTE);

►    in the arteries (referred to as an ‘arterial thrombosis',

‘arterial thromboembolism' or ATE).

Recovery from blood clots is not always complete. Rarely, there may be serious lasting effects or, very rarely, they may be fatal.

It is important to remember that the overall risk of having a harmful blood clot due to Microgynon 30 ED is small.    r

BLOOD CLOTS IN A VEIN

What can happen if a blood clot forms in a vein?

R The use of combined hormonal contraceptives has been connected with an increase in the risk of blood clots in the vein (venous thrombosis). However, these side effects are rare. Most frequently, they occur in the first year of use of a combined hormonal contraceptive.

R If a blood clot forms in a vein in the leg or foot it can cause a deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

R If a blood clot travels from the leg and lodges in the lung it can cause a pulmonary embolism.

R Very rarely a clot may form in a vein in another organ such as the eye (retinal vein thrombosis).

The risk of developing a blood clot in a vein is highest during the first year of taking a combined hormonal contraceptive for the first time. The risk may also be higher if you restart taking a combined hormonal contraceptive (the same product or a different product) after a break of 4 weeks or more.

After the first year, the risk gets smaller but is always slightly higher than if you were not using a combined hormonal contraceptive.

When you stop Microgynon 30 ED your risk of a blood clot returns to normal within a few weeks.

The risk depends on your natural risk of VTE and the type of combined hormonal contraceptive you are taking.

The overall risk of a blood clot in the leg or lung (DVT or PE) with Microgynon 30 ED is small.

►    Out of 10,000 women who are not using any combined hormonal contraceptive and are not pregnant, about 2 will develop a blood clot in a year.

►    Out of 10,000 women who are using a combined hormonal contraceptive that contains levonorgestrel, such as Microgynon 30 ED, about 5-7 will develop a blood clot in a year.

some conditions will increase the risk. Your risk is higher:

►    if you are very overweight (body mass index or BMI over 30kg/m²)

►    if one of your immediate family has had a blood clot in the leg, lung or other organ at a young age (e.g. below the age of about 50). In this case you could have a hereditary blood clotting disorder

►    if you need to have an operation, or if you are off your feet for a long time because of an injury or illness, or you have your leg in a cast. The use of Microgynon 30 ED may need to be stopped several weeks before surgery or while you are

BLOOD CLOTS IN AN ARTERY

What can happen if a blood clot forms in an artery?

Like a blood clot in a vein, a clot in an artery can cause serious problems. For example, it can cause a heart attack or a stroke. Factors that increase your risk of a blood clot in an artery It is important to note that the risk of a heart attack or stroke from using Microgynon 30 ED is very small but can increase:

►    with increasing age (beyond about 35 years)

If you have more than one of these conditions or if any of them are particularly severe the risk of developing a blood clot may be increased even more.

If any of the above conditions change while you are using Microgynon 30 ED, for example you start smoking, a close family member experiences a thrombosis for no known reason, or you gain a lot of weight, tell your doctor.

2.4 The Pill and cancer

While high dose Pills reduce your risk of cancer of the ovary and womb if used in the long term, it is not clear whether lower dose Pills like Microgynon 30 ED also provide the same protective effects. However, it also seems that taking the Pill slightly increases your risk of cancer of the cervix - although

this may be due to having sex without a condom, rather than the Pill. AH women should have regular smear tests.

If you have breast cancer, or have had it in the past, you should not take the Pill. The Pill slightly increases your risk of breast cancer. This risk goes up the longer you're on the Pill, but returns to normal within about 10 years of stopping it. Because breast cancer is rare in women under the age of 40, the extra cases of breast cancer in current and recent Pill users is small.

For example:

►    Of 10,000 women who have never taken the Pill, about 16 will have breast cancer by the time they are 35 years old.

►    Of 10,000 women who take the Pill for 5 years in their early twenties, about 17-18 will have breast cancer by the time they are 35 years old.

►    Of 10,000 women who take the Pill for 5 years in their early thirties, about 110 will have breast cancer by the time they are 45 years old.

►    if you have a close relative (mother, sister or grandmother) who has had breast cancer

►    if you are seriously overweight
