How Microlon works
Microlon is an oral contraceptive pill. It works by preventing the release of egg (ovulation) and affecting sperm movement in the womb to prevent its union with the egg. It also changes the lining of the womb and renders it unsuitable for pregnancy.
Quick Tips

- It also results in lighter, less painful and more regular menstrual bleeding.

- Stop taking this medicine and inform your doctor immediately if you notice unexplained swelling and pain in your limbs, shortness of breath, chest pain, severe headache, or changes in vision. These could be symptoms of a blood clot in a vein.

Contraindication
History of or current thrombophlebitis or venous thromboembolic disorders; active or recent (within 1 yr) arterial thromboembolic disease e.g. stroke, MI; cerebral vascular disease, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease with complications. Severe hypertension; DM with vascular involvement; severe headache with focal neurological symptoms. Known or suspected breast carcinoma, endometrial cancer, oestrogen-dependent neoplasms. Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding; hepatic dysfunction or tumor. Cholestatic jaundice of pregnancy, jaundice with prior combined hormonal contraceptive use. Major surgery with prolonged immobilisation. Pregnancy.
Mode of Action
Desogestrel is a progestogen that is structurally related to levonorgestrel while ethinylestradiol is a synthetic oestrogen. Used together, they inhibit ovulation by a negative feedback mechanism on the hypothalamus, which alters the normal FSH and LH secretion pattern by the anterior pituitary. It inhibits the follicular phase FSH and midcycle surge of gonadotropins. It also causes changes in the cervical mucus, making it unsuitable for sperm penetration. It may also alter tubal transport of the ova through the fallopian tubes. Progestational agents may also alter sperm fertility.
Precaution
May increase risk of breast cancer, glucose intolerance and thromboembolism. May affect serum levels of triglyceride and lipoprotein. Caution when used in patients with familial defects of lipoprotein metabolism. Discontinue treatment if papilledema or retinal vascular lesions are observed on eye examination. Patients with risk factors for coronary artery disease. Patients with depression or history of migraine. Renal impairment. Increased cardiovascular risk in smoking women especially those >35 yr. Treatment should be stopped for 4 wk prior to and for 2 wk after surgery associated with increased risk of thromboembolism or during periods of prolonged immbolisation.
