Ovranette Pill

About Ovranette

What is Ovranette?

Ovranette is a combined contraceptive pill. Ovranette is usually used to prevent pregnancy, but it can also be used to improve the symptoms of PMS - including relieving period pains.

Ovranette contains two active ingredients, levonorgestrel and ethinylestradiol, which are synthetic versions of the female sex hormones, oestrogen and progestogen, that your body produces naturally.

How do I take Ovranette?

Ovranette tablets are to be swallowed whole, without chewing or crushing them. You can take your Ovranette tablet either with or without water or food.

Each packet of Ovranette tablets contains 21 pills, with each pill marked by the corresponding day of the week on the blister foil strip. If you start your packet on a Monday, you will press your first tablet through the blister foil marked ‘MON’, and carry on through the usual days of the week following the arrow. Please note, product packaging may differ from the image above.

If this is the first hormonal contraceptive you have used in the past month, you should take your first Ovranette pill on the first day of your menstrual cycle, i.e. on the first day of your usual menstrual bleed.

How can Ovranette help with Period Pain?

Ovranette can help relieve your period pain by making your periods lighter. Period cramps are usually caused by chemicals in the womb called prostaglandins, which make the womb contract and squeeze. If your body produces too much of this chemical, it can make these normal contractions more intense and sometimes painful. Fewer prostaglandins are released when you have lighter periods, which can make your menstrual cramps less painful.

Who can take Ovranette?

Ovranette is a prescription medication and it needs to be prescribed by a doctor. Your prescribing doctor will check whether it is suitable for you. If you have a history of certain illnesses, you may not be able to take Ovranette.
