Prescription Only Medication (POM)
Please select the product variation first.
Ovranette tablets are a combined oral contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol (oestrogen) and levonorgestrel (progestogen). They work by preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm from reaching an egg, and altering the womb lining to reduce the likelihood of implantation. When taken correctly, Ovranette is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.
The tablets are taken once daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break during which a withdrawal bleed occurs. In addition to reliable contraception, Ovranette can help make periods lighter, more regular, and less painful for some users.

Ovranette is a combined hormonal contraceptive that can be used to prevent pregnancy.
This form of contraception will not protect you against STIs, only a condom has that capability.
Ovranette contains ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel and these hormones prevent your ovaries from releasing an egg. This form of contraception will make it difficult for an egg to implant itself in the womb’s lining and will also make it difficult for the sperm to find the egg.
We advise that all of our patients seek the advice of either their doctor or prescriber before they begin their Ovranette treatment. This is to ensure that you receive the correct treatment for you.

Ovranette can sometimes be taken continuously without the usual seven-day break. This is known as continuous or tailored use of the combined contraceptive pill. Taking Ovranette this way may help reduce withdrawal bleeding and period-related symptoms, such as cramps. However, you may experience breakthrough bleeding or spotting, particularly at first.
Before changing your pill-taking routine, speak to a healthcare professional to check that continuous use is suitable for you and to understand how to manage any bleeding.
Ovranette may be prescribed to help manage some symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), although it is not a cure for the condition. As a combined contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel, it can help regulate periods and may improve acne associated with hormonal changes.
Treatment suitability depends on your symptoms, medical history and individual risk factors. A healthcare professional can advise whether Ovranette is appropriate for you and discuss other treatment options if needed
