What is Mili Birth Control Pills?

Mili is a combination oral contraceptive pill (cOCP, birth control medication, birth control pills). It prevents pregnancy by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation), and thickening the cervical mucus, blocking sperm from getting into the uterus and getting to the egg. Mili is also prescribed to: treat acne, reduce the risk of ovarian cysts (as in polycystic ovarian syndrome [PCOS]), treat painful or heavy periods, and more. Read More

How to Use Mili

Mili is super easy to use. Simply take one pill every day, at the same time each day. Many women find that taking Mili before bedtime or just after their evening meal helps reduce nausea and other side effects.

After taking 21 days of white active pills, you’ll switch to seven peach-colored ones. These are inactive pills with no hormones that are there to get you in the habit of taking your pill every day. The use of Mili is the same if you are using the medication either to prevent pregnancy, treat acne, reduce PCOS symptoms, or periods cramps.

Mili Dosage

Mili uses a blend of two hormones, Norgestimate 0.25mg (progesterone) and Ethinyl Estradiol 0.035mg (estrogen).

Benefits of Mili

  • Periods get lighter. If you are usually a 7-day person, it goes down to like 5 days. If you use 5 pads/tampons a day, it goes down to 3.
  • You can use it to make #PeriodsOptional. Just skip the last week of pills and go straight into the next pack. See our CEO/Founder’s talk at the bottom of this page.
  • Improves acne.

Mili Side Effects

The risks are very low, but some women have experienced unwanted side effects when taking Mili. Minor ones include breast tenderness, headaches, nausea, swollen feet or ankles, and slightly elevated blood pressure or blood sugar levels. Positive side effects are also a possibility, too — reduced acne, fewer mood swings, and other perks are fairly common.

The chances of serious side effects are extremely unlikely, but some cases have been documented. Symptoms include heart disease, blood clotting, shortness of breath, migraines, vision problems, slurred speech, confusion, and fainting. Those who wear contacts or are nearsighted may notice vision problems as well.

These may sound scary, but remember — they’re very rare.

Frequently Asked Questions

DOES MILI CAUSE WEIGHT GAIN?

Mili is unlikely to cause weight gain. Some women actually lose weight because Mili birth control can have a mild diuretic effect, although any weight lost is typically retained water and not actually body fat.

ANY OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT MILI?

One of our Patient Care Advisors or licensed physicians will always review the medications and supplements you’re currently taking before prescribing Mili. Certain drugs (recreational, over-the-counter, or prescription) can interact with Mili and make it less effective at preventing pregnancy. Drugs that may interact with Mili include HIV drugs, anti-seizure drugs, antibiotics, and even herbal supplements like St. John’s wort.

Women who have high blood pressure or take medications to control blood pressure should not take Mili. Our Pandia Health medical team recommends other options including progestin-only pill (POPs), IUDs with hormone (Mirena, Liletta, Kyleena, Skyla), copper IUDs, implants (nexplanon), the birth control shot (depo-provera), or condoms and spermicide.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD I BE AWARE OF WITH MILI?

Mili has a mild diuretic effect, which means it can make you pee and put you at an increased risk of dehydration. Drink plenty of water while taking Mili. If you have certain health conditions like chronic kidney disease, liver disease, or Addison’s disease, you shouldn’t use Mili, or its equivalents.

Hormone-based birth control like Mili might not be right for you depending on your medical history. If you have a history of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, or other medical conditions, let one of our Patient Care Advisors know. We’ll help you select a good alternative.

You might be allergic to an ingredient in Mili if you experience symptoms like dizziness, itchiness, or a skin rash. It’s extremely unlikely, but serious allergic reactions may occur. If you experience trouble breathing or swelling of the lips and tongue, call 911 immediately.

HOW EASY IS IT TO GET MILI?

It’s easy to get Mili at just about any pharmacy near you with a doctor’s prescription. Concerned about your privacy? Our doctor-founded, doctor-led team at Pandia Health is happy to connect you with a licensed physician who can help you get Mili or any other birth control you need, discreetly and conveniently.

If you don’t have insurance, don’t worry! Pandia Health has a range of payment options.

DOES MILI BIRTH CONTROL CAUSE INFERTILITY?

It’s not true that Mili causes infertility. If you’re taking Mili and want to have a baby, talk to your doctor and then stop taking the medication. Normal fertility should return within one or two menstrual cycles after your last pill. Dr. Yen explains more about birth control and infertility in this video. Watch to learn more!
