Logynon 21

Logynon 21 is a medication used as a contraceptive. It is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains two types of female hormones: ethinylestradiol (a synthetic form of estrogen) and levonorgestrel (a synthetic form of progesterone). These hormones work together to effectively prevent pregnancy.

Benefits and Uses of logynon birth control pills 

• Logynon contains two types of female sex hormones—estrogen (ethinylestradiol) and progesterone (levonorgestrel). It prevents pregnancy by:

• Inhibiting ovulation (preventing the release of an egg).

• Changing the consistency of cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg.

• Altering the uterine lining, making it less suitable for implantation.

• Taking Logynon contraceptive pills has additional benefits, such as:

• More regular and lighter periods, which may lead to:

• Reduced iron deficiency anemia.

• Less menstrual pain.

• Relief from premenstrual symptoms.

• Some conditions may be less common in women who take contraceptive pills, including:

• Pelvic inflammatory disease.

• Ovarian cysts.

• Ectopic pregnancy.

• Breast lumps.

• Acne.

• Uterine and ovarian cancer.

• Logynon does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as chlamydia or HIV. Only condoms can provide such protection.

logynon pill how to use

• Logynon comes in strips containing 21 pills (6 light brown pills, 5 white pills, and 10 yellow pills), each labeled with a day of the week.

• Take one pill daily at the same time each day for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day break with no pills.

• During this break, a withdrawal bleed similar to a menstrual period may occur.

• After the 7-day break, start a new strip of pills.

• Swallow each pill whole (without chewing), with water if necessary.
