About Microlut

Microlut is a progestogen-only mini pill containing levonorgestrel. It must be taken at the same time each day (within a 3-hour window). Suitable for breastfeeding women.

Microlut is a progestogen-only pill containing levonorgestrel 30mcg taken daily without any breaks. As an oestrogen-free contraceptive, Microlut is suitable for women who cannot use combined pills due to medical contraindications or personal preference.

Microlut must be taken at the same time every day within a 3-hour window. Missing this window or skipping a pill significantly reduces effectiveness. It is particularly recommended for breastfeeding women, as levonorgestrel does not affect milk supply or quality at this dose.

Available on the PBS, Microlut is an established mini-pill option in Australia. Women taking Microlut may experience irregular bleeding patterns, especially in the first few months of use, which is a normal adjustment response.
