Brevinor is commonly known as ‘the pill’ or the combined pill and is a daily oral contraceptive. Brevinor can also help to regulate your periods, reduce pain and shorten the duration of your period. Brevinor contains both artificial oestrogen and progestogen (ethinylestradiol and norethisterone), and if taken on the first day of your period, protection is immediate.
What are the additional benefits of Brevinor?
If you take Brevinor on the first day of your period, you’ll be able to benefit from this protection straight away. Brevinor contains the same dose of contraceptives as Binovum, but it’s monophasic, so you only have to ingest a single dose during your entire cycle, which makes it easier to take.
Taking a monophasic birth control pill can help to regulate your hormone levels, which makes it less likely that you will experience mood changes as a result of natural fluctuating hormone cycles.
Some women use Brevinor pills to treat acne, and improvements are often seen within three months in the patients who respond well to hormonal treatments.
BiNovum and Trinovum have both been discontinued by their manufacturer, but contain the same active ingredients as Brevinor. If you were previously on either pill, Brevinor could be taken as an alternative.
