Ovranette
Ovranette is a monophasic 21-day contraceptive pill containing the active ingredients ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. It helps to make it harder for the sperm to penetrate the womb and to reduce the chance of a fertilised egg implanting in the womb. It is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy if taken correctly.
Ovranette is a prescription only medicine, like any other prescription medication you must consult a doctor before using it.
PrivateDoc offers a confidential free consultation service that may result in you receiving a prescription for Ovranette if it is deemed appropriate and can prescribed safely. Complete a 100% free and secure consultation to explore your treatment options.
