Description
Millinette is a combined hormonal contraceptive, one of a group of drugs often referred to as the Pill. It contains two types of hormone: an oestrogen, ethinylestradiol, and a progestogen, gestodene. These hormones stop the ovary from releasing an egg each month (ovulation). They also thicken the fluid (mucus) at the neck of the womb (cervix) making it more difficult for the sperm to reach the egg, and alter the lining of the womb to make it less likely to accept a fertilised egg. Medical research and vast experience have shown that, if taken correctly, the Pill is an effective reversible form of contraception.
Remember, combined hormonal contraceptive pills like Millinette will not protect you against sexually-transmitted diseases (such as AIDS). Only condoms can help to do this.
