Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 is super easy to use.
Simply take one pill every day, at the same time each day. Many women find that taking Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 before bedtime or just after their evening meal reduces nausea and other side effects. After taking 21 days of active pills, you’ll switch to seven sugar pills (placebo pills).
These are inactive pills with no hormones that are there to keep you in the habit of taking your pill every day and, in this medication, they have 75 mg of Ferrous Fumarate.
Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 uses a combination of two hormones progestin (Norgestimate Acetate 1.5mg) and estrogen (Ethinyl Estradiol, 0.03 mg) to make your body think it’s pregnant so a real pregnancy won’t happen.
The risks are very low, but some women have experienced unwanted side effects when taking Microgestin Fe 1.5/30.
Minor ones include breast tenderness, headaches, nausea, and slightly elevated blood pressure or blood sugar levels. Positive side effects are also a possibility, too — reduced acne, lighter bleeds, and fewer mood swings are fairly common.
The chances of serious side effects are extremely unlikely, but some cases have been documented, such as blood clots in the head (a severe new headache, causing double vision, or stroke), blood clots in the chest causing severe shortness of breath, blood clots in the abdomen (causing abdominal pain), blood clots in the leg causing leg swelling and pain.
These may sound scary, but remember — they’re very rare.
