What is Mercilon?
Mercilon is a low-dose combined oral contraceptive pill. It contains ethinylestradiol (20 mcg oestrogen) and desogestrel (a progestogen). The lower oestrogen dose suits women who are more sensitive to hormones.
Mercilon stops ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, and thins the womb lining. It is now available through online consultation with EU-licensed doctors.
Benefits of Mercilon
- Over 99% effective: When taken correctly.
- Lighter periods: Often shorter and less painful. May ease PMS symptoms.
- Fewer oestrogen side effects: The low dose may cause less breast tenderness or nausea.
- Flexible packs: Mercilon 0.02 mg in 3 x 21 (3 months) or 6 x 21 tablets (6 months).
- Discreet delivery: From an EU-regulated pharmacy in plain packaging.
How to Take Mercilon
Each strip has 21 tablets marked with weekdays. Take one at the same time each day for 21 days. Then have a 7-day break. You will likely have a withdrawal bleed. Start the next strip on day 8.
You stay protected during the break if you took all 21 pills correctly.
Missed pills: Less than 12 hours late — take it at once. More than 12 hours late or more than one missed — use a barrier method for 7 days. Check the patient leaflet.
Possible Side Effects
A medical check is needed first. The pill is not for women who smoke and are over 35, have blood clot history, high blood pressure, certain migraines, or certain cancers.
Combined pills slightly raise blood clot risk. Common side effects include:
- Mild nausea or stomach pain
- Headaches
- Mood or libido changes
- Breast tenderness
- Spotting in the first months
Seek urgent help for sudden chest pain, breathing trouble, or severe leg pain or swelling.
Medical information
Mercilon is a low-dose combined oral contraceptive containing ethinylestradiol (20 mcg) and desogestrel (150 mcg).
The reduced oestrogen content makes Mercilon a popular choice for women who experience oestrogen-related side effects — such as breast tenderness, headaches, or nausea — with standard 30 mcg formulations.
Desogestrel provides reliable ovulation suppression even at this lower oestrogen dose, and its minimal androgenic profile may also benefit women prone to hormonal skin changes.
Despite the lower oestrogen dose, all combined hormonal contraceptives carry a risk of venous thromboembolism, and third-generation progestogens may be associated with a marginally higher clot risk.
A prescriber must assess your BMI, blood pressure, smoking status, migraine history, and thrombotic risk before prescribing Mercilon.
