Mercilon is an oral contraceptive that is taken on a daily basis. Its primary aim is to prevent pregnancy, of which it is 99% effective^[1] at doing so when used correctly, however, there are benefits including reducing menstrual cramps and a heavy flow as well as making your time of the month far more predictable.

Mercilon is a combined pill meaning it contains both artificial oestrogen and progestogen, although it's worth noting that this particular contraceptive does contain a lower dosage of oestrogen than most pills so can be suitable if you have experienced side effects with the female sex hormone.

Mercilon has two active ingredients; synthetic oestrogen ethinyl estradiol and synthetic progestogen desogestrel. These two hormones work in three ways to prevent conception. Firstly, it is extremely unlikely an egg will be released because these hormones trick your body into thinking you have already ovulated. This is the primary function the majority of the time. If by some chance, an egg is released, there is a backup plan.

The hormones also thicken the cervical fluid meaning it's much more difficult for the sperm to reach the egg. Lastly, the womb lining alters and thins meaning an egg cannot attach itself. With three ways to prevent pregnancy, this makes Mercilon 99% effective^[1] when taken correctly.

Mercilon comes in the form of blister packs; tree for three months and six for six months. Each blister pack is clearly marked with the day of the week, making it easier for you to keep track, and contains 21 pills that each have the same amount of hormones in them.

• Take one pill daily at around the same time
• Continue for 21 days
• Then you should have a seven-day break
• During this time, you will experience a withdrawal bleed similar to a period
• After seven days, you can continue with the next pack

You should take each pill at around the same time everyday for it to remain highly effective. If you miss or delay taking a pill, you can refer to our combined pill page for more information on what to do.

There is only one dosage of Mercilon that is 150mcg of ethinyl estradiol and 20mcg of desogestrel. This has been proven to be highly effective with a reduced likelihood of side effects and can be ordered online safely.

Side effects of any combined pill, including Mercilon, can occur during the first three months of taking the medication as your body comes accustomed to the hormones. Doctors will always advise that you stick with the pill of choice unless the side effects are completely unmanageable. Some side effects include spotting (bleeding), nausea, mood changes and breast tenderness. If these symptoms persist, contact your doctor for more information or an alternative method.
