Ovranette Tablets are a combined oral contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. Each tablet contains two synthetic hormones: ethinylestradiol (a form of oestrogen) and levonorgestrel (a progestogen). These ingredients are identical to those found in Microgynon 30 and Levest, meaning Ovranette offers the same level of protection and cycle control. This pill is suitable for women of reproductive age looking for reliable, long-term hormonal contraception with additional menstrual benefits.

How It Works

Ovranette works by interfering with the natural menstrual cycle in three key ways. First, it prevents ovulation – the release of an egg from the ovaries. Second, it thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus. Third, it alters the uterine lining so that a fertilised egg is less likely to implant. When taken consistently and correctly, Ovranette is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. It is taken once daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break during which a withdrawal bleed occurs.

Why Choose Ovranette Tablets

Ovranette Tablets for contraception are a popular and cost-effective choice for hormonal birth control. In addition to effective pregnancy prevention, many users benefit from lighter, more predictable periods, reduced cramps, and clearer skin. It is often prescribed to women who previously used Microgynon or Levest, offering the same results at a more affordable price. The consistent hormone dose in each tablet helps maintain hormonal balance throughout the cycle. Ovranette is reversible, well tolerated by most users, and convenient for daily use.

Important Note

Ovranette is not suitable for everyone. It may not be appropriate for women with a history of blood clots, severe migraines, liver conditions, or hormone-sensitive cancers. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Always read the leaflet carefully, store the tablets below 25°C, and keep out of reach of children. Seek advice if you miss a pill or experience unusual side effects.
