About Brevinor

Brevinor is a combined oral contraceptive; it uses a combination of ethinylestradiol and norethisterone to stop you from getting pregnant.

These two hormones work in three main ways;

• By preventing your ovaries from releasing an egg
• By making the fluid (mucus) in your cervix thicker, which makes it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg
• By preventing the lining of your womb thickening enough for an egg to grow in it.

The benefits of taking the pill include:

• Hormonal contraception is one of the most reliable reversible methods of contraception, if used correctly
• It doesn't interrupt sex
• It can make your periods regular, lighter and less painful
• It may help with pre-menstrual symptoms.

Please note, hormonal contraceptives such as Brevinor will not protect you against sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia, gonorrhoea or HIV. If you wish to prevent these infections, barrier methods such as condoms may still be used.

Brevinor must be taken as directed to prevent pregnancy.

Alternatives

Some patients may find that Brevinor isn’t as effective for them, or may cause some side effects.

There are two main types of contraceptive pill - combined pills, which use a blend of progesterone and oestrogen, and progesterone-only pills (POP, or sometimes called the mini-pill).

The primary difference between the two is how they operate; the combined pill works in multiple ways to prevent pregnancy, while the mini pill only thickens the mucus around the cervix to prevent pregnancy. However, this also means that some patients have reported less side effects when using the mini pill.

Speak to your GP about the benefits of each type of pill, and see which one is best for you.

Here at Simple Online Pharmacy, we have a number of alternatives available, including;

• Gedarel 20/150 & Gedarel 30/150 (Combined Pill)
• Cerazette (Mini Pill)
• Microgynon 30 (Combined Pill)
• Cerelle (Mini Pill)

How To Use Brevinor

Start taking Brevinor on your first day of bleeding. If you are not currently experiencing periods, speak to your doctor or GP for advice on when to start.

You can start Brevinor on any day of your period up to the fifth day; however, if you don’t start on the first day of your period, you may not be protected for the first seven days; you should use another form of contraception, such as condoms, during that first week.

Take the tablet marked with the correct day of the week. You can take Brevinor at any time, but you must take it at the same time each day. Take a tablet every day until you finish a blister strip.

Each strip contains enough pills for 21 days - once you finish all 21 tablets, stop for 7 days. You will probably bleed during this time. Once the seven days have passed, you can start the next strip (whether or not you are still bleeding). You will always start the next strip on the same day of the week.

You are protected from pregnancy during the seven day break, but only if you start the next blister strip on time.

For more advice on when and how to start Brevinor, please read the Patient Information Leaflet.

Brevinor Side Effects

As with all medications, some users may experience side effects when using Brevinor - however, most women do not experience any side effects from the pill.

The most common side effects of combined contraception may include;

• Headache
• Nausea, upset stomach
• Changes in appetite, changes in the way your body breaks down sugars, fats or vitamins, weight gain
• Changes in sex drive
• High blood pressure
• Depression
• Swollen or sore breasts
• Irregular vaginal bleeding, worsening of womb disorders

In rare cases, the pill can increase the risk of blood clots. If you experience any of the following symptoms, seek immediate medical advice;

• Severe headaches or migraines, which are sudden and unusual
• Dizziness or fainting
• Swelling or tenderness in the stomach, severe sharp pain in the chest
• Problems with your speech or sight
• Coughing up blood

Please note, this is not an exhaustive list of side effects; please read the Patient Information Leaflet before you buy Brevinor online for more information, and side effects to watch out for.

What are the side effects of the Contraceptive Pill?

While side effects are usually uncommon and mild in nature, it is best to be aware of any that may occur. Some of the most common side effects include mood swings, headaches, nausea, and breast tenderness.  

For a full list of side effects and more information, you can read the NHS Choices site on contraception. Alternatively, see the patient information leaflet for your pill.

What are the advantages of the Combined Oral Contraceptive?

The combined oral contraceptive can help to make periods lighter, less painful and more regular. When taken correctly the combined pill is more than 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. It can also help reduce the risk of womb and ovarian cancer.

What are the disadvantages of the Combined Oral Contraceptive?

The combined oral contraceptive can cause side effects including breast pain, spotting, and nausea. Other side effects such as headaches and mood swings are also common.

What are the advantages of the Progesterone only contraceptive?

One advantage of the progestogen-only pill is that it has a lower likelihood of side effects because it does not contain oestrogen. It can also be used by women who are unable to take oestrogen. Women who are breastfeeding can take the progestogen-only pill at the same time.

What are the disadvantages of the Progesterone only contraceptive?

The mini pill has to be taken at the same time every day. If you are more than 3 hours late (or 12 hours for the desogestrel pill), it may not be effective. It may cause periods to be irregular, they may stop altogether or get more frequent.

Which pill is right for me?

Prescribers will take a thorough medical history before choosing the right contraceptive pill for you. For most people, the combined contraceptive pill works best. For those who are over 35, smoke, suffer from migraine or have other risk factors, the progesterone-only pill may be more suitable. Talk to your doctor to discuss the best course of action for contraception.

Am I protected against pregnancy straight away?

Some pills, if taken correctly, will provide protection immediately, while others take time to provide contraceptive cover. Refer to the patient information leaflet of your pill to find out when you are protected on your pill.

Do I still need to use a condom?

Although you will be covered against pregnancy with the pill, it is always advised to use a condom. This is to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted disease such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea. No contraceptive pill will protect against sexually transmitted infections.

I forgot to take my pill – what should I do?

You should always take your pill around the same time each day to ensure maximum contraceptive cover. Different pills vary in the amount of time you can delay your dose. Always refer to your prescribed medication’s patient information leaflet to find more detailed information relating to missed doses.

Where can I get the contraceptive pill in the UK?

In the UK, you should speak to a GP or visit a sexual health clinic if you would like to get the contraceptive pill prescribed. This is free via the NHS.

You can order the contraceptive pill online from Simple Online Pharmacy if you have already been prescribed it by your doctor. You must complete a medical assessment form for our doctors to review. They can use this to make sure it is safe and suitable for you to take. We offer delivery (including next working day options) via the Royal Mail.
