Mercilon 21 Day Pill | Low-Dose Combined Oral Contraceptive for Birth Control & Cycle Care

Description

Product Description

Mercilon 21 Day Pill is a low-dose combined oral contraceptive containing ethinylestradiol and desogestrel. It is designed to prevent pregnancy while providing gentle hormonal regulation of the menstrual cycle. Mercilon works by suppressing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to reduce sperm movement, and thinning the uterine lining. Due to its lower oestrogen dose, it is often prescribed for women who are sensitive to hormonal side effects such as nausea or breast tenderness.

Mercilon does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and must be taken consistently to remain effective. Pistil offers discreet, doctor-led consultations and teleconsult services to ensure safe and appropriate contraceptive use.
