This medicine is an effective contraception method used to prevent pregnancy when taken once a day.
Taking Logynon results in lighter, more regular, and less painful menstrual bleeding, and it is an effective contraceptive method for preventing pregnancy.
What is Logynon?
Logynon tablets are hormonal contraceptive pills. They are combined contraceptive pills that are made up of two active ingredients: ethynylestradiol, a synthetic estrogen, and levonorgestrel, a synthetic progesterone.
Taking Logynon results in lighter, more regular, and less painful menstrual bleeding. This medication is at times prescribed for women who have problems with painful, heavy or irregular periods.
How does Logynon work?
Logynon tablets contain the synthetic versions of estrogen and progesterone, naturally occurring female sex hormones. Combined oral contraceptives such as Logynon work by over-riding the normal menstrual cycle. During a woman’s menstrual cycle, the levels of sex hormone change throughout each month. The hormones cause the ovaries to release an egg during the process of ovulation and prepare the lining of the womb for the possibility of a pregnancy. At the end of each menstrual cycle, the levels of the hormones fall if the egg has not been fertilized, causing the shedding of the womb lining as a monthly menstrual period.
The daily dose of hormones provided by the pill works mainly by convincing the body into believing that ovulation already occurred. This prevents the ripening and the subsequent release of an egg from the ovaries each month.
The hormones also thicken the natural mucus at the womb’s neck, making it difficult for sperm to cross from the vaginal canal into the womb and reach an egg to be fertilized. The hormones also change the quality of the lining of the womb, making it not conducive for the implantation of a fertilized egg.
What are the benefits of using Logynon?
Logynon is beneficial in preventing pregnancy. The medication contains synthetic estrogen and progesterone which tricks the body into believing that ovulation has occurred, preventing the ripening and the subsequent release of an egg from the ovaries. Even if an egg is fertilized and released by the ovaries, Logynon is effective in increasing the thickness of the natural mucus at the womb’s neck, making it difficult for sperm to cross from the vagina into the womb.
If possible, begin taking Logynon on the first day of your period. Take one pill at a similar time each day, in the indicated order.
For the first six days, you will take light brown tablets which contain 50mcg levonorgestrel. For the following five days you will take white tablets which contain 75mcg levonorgestrel. For the final ten days you will take ochre-coloured tablets which contain 125mcg levonorgestrel.
There are 21 Logynon pills in a strip. Once you have finished a strip, you will stop taking the pill for seven days. During this time you will have a normal bleed. Once seven days have passed, begin your next cycle of treatment.
Not everyone will experience side effects when they take Logynon, however if you do they may include:
Stomach pain, weight gain, nausea, mood swings, breast pain, headaches.
