Mircette (ethinyl estradiol and desogestre) drug that contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This drug also makes changes in female uterine lining and cervical mucus, making it harder for spermotozoid to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
Mircette generic (birth-control pills) is a drug that used to prevent or reduce the likelihood of pregnancy or childbirth. Estrogen and progestin are two female sex hormones. Combinations of progestin and estrogen work by preventing ovulation (the release of eggs from the ovaries). They also change the lining of the uterus to prevent pregnancy from developing and change the mucus at the cervix to prevent spermotozoid (male reproductive cells) from entering. Oral contraceptives (sucha as Mircette) are a very efficient method of birth control, but they do not prevent the spread of human immunodeficiency virus (such as AIDS) and other sexually transmitted maladies.
One type of oral contraceptives is also used to relieve the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (physical and emotional symptoms that occur before the menstrual period each month) in women who have chosen to take an oral contraceptive to prevent pregnancy.
Oral contraceptives come in packets of 28, 56, or 84 pills to take by mouth once a day, every day or almost every day of a regular cycle. To avoid nausea, take oral contraceptive medications with milk or food. Take your oral contraceptive pills at the same time every day. Take an oral contraceptive exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it.
