Microgynon 50 ED tablets are a type of hormonal contraception commonly known as 'the pill' or combined oral contraceptive pill. There are two types of tablets in each 28-day pack. The small beige tablets contain two active ingredients ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. These are synthetic versions of the naturally occurring female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone. Ethinylestradiol (previously spelt ethinyloestradiol in the UK) is a synthetic version of oestrogen and levonorgestrel is a synthetic form of progesterone. The seven large white tablets don't contain any active ingredients. Combined oral contraceptives like Microgynon 50 ED work by over-riding the normal menstrual cycle. In a woman's normal menstrual cycle levels of the sex hormones change throughout each month. The hormones cause an egg to be released from the ovaries (ovulation) and prepare the lining of the womb for a possible pregnancy. At the end of each cycle if the egg has not been fertilised the levels of the hormones fall causing the womb lining to be shed as a monthly period. The daily dose of hormones taken in the pill work mainly by tricking your body into thinking that ovulation has already happened. This prevents an egg from ripening and being released from the ovaries each month.The hormones also increase the thickness of the natural mucus at the neck of the womb which makes it more difficult for sperm to cross from the vagina into the womb and reach an egg. They also change the quality of the womb lining (endometrium) making it less likely that a fertilised egg can implant there. Microgynon 50 ED is an everyday pill meaning quite simply that you take one tablet every day. The tablets come in strips of 28 tablets with 21 small beige active tablets in three rows and 7 larger white inactive tablets in the last row. The tablets also come with self-adhesive strips each starting with a different day of the week. These are to show you on which day to take each tablet. Peel off a strip that starts with your starting day eg if you start the tablets on a Wednesday use a strip that starts with 'Wed'. Stick the strip along the top of the strip of tablets so that the first day is above the pill marked 'start'. You can now see on which day you have to take each tablet. For the first 21 days of each 28-day packet the tablet you take is an active tablet. Each of these contains the same dose of hormones. For the last seven days of each 28-day pack the tablet you take is inactive (doesn't contain any hormones). During your seven days days of taking the inactive tablets the levels of the hormones in your blood drop which results in a withdrawal bleed that is similar to your normal period. You start the next pack straight away without a break between packs even if you are still bleeding. The purpose of the last seven inactive tablets is that you get used to taking a pill at the same time every day and just take each packet back to back. This is unlike many other pills where you have three weeks of taking pills followed by a week off from pill taking. Microgynon 50 ED might be helpful for you if you find it difficult to remember to start taking your pill again after a pill-free week. You will still be protected against pregnancy while you are taking the inactive tablets provided you took all the pills correctly you start the next packet on time and nothing else happened that could make the pill less effective (eg sickness diarrhoea or taking certain other medicines - see below). The contraceptive pill results in lighter less painful and more regular menstrual bleeding. This means it is sometimes prescribed for women who have problems with particularly heavy painful or irregular periods.
