Microgynon 20 ED is a low-dose combined contraceptive pill. The lower oestrogen dose makes it suitable for those who experience oestrogen-related side effects.
Microgynon 20 ED is a low-dose combined oral contraceptive containing ethinylestradiol 20mcg and levonorgestrel 100mcg. The reduced oestrogen content makes it a gentler option for women who experience nausea, headaches, or breast tenderness on standard-dose pills.
The ED (Every Day) format includes 28 tablets per pack — 21 active and 7 inert — so you take a pill every day without any breaks, which helps establish a consistent routine and reduces the risk of missed doses.
Microgynon 20 ED is PBS-listed and widely available at Australian pharmacies. It is a good starting point for women who are new to hormonal contraception or are transitioning from a higher-dose pill.
