Hana (Desogestrel) Mini-Pill 75mcg - 28 Tablets
Brand: Hana
What are Hana (Desogestrel) Mini-Pill 75mcg Tablets Hana is a daily contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy for women of childbearing age. It is an oral hormonal contraceptive (often called “the pill”). Hana works primarily by preventing a woman’s egg cell from ripening (prevents ovulation); it also has effects on cervical mucus which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb. Hana contains a small amount of one type of female sex hormone: a progestogen called desogestrel. Unlike the combined pill, Hana does not contain any oestrogen hormone, in addition to the progestogen. For this reason, Hana is called a progestogen-only pill (POP). In contrast to the combined pill, Hana can be used: by women who cannot take oestrogens, or do not want to by women who are breastfeeding. If you think you are post-menopausal, talk to your doctor. You may not need to take contraceptives. Hormonal contraceptives, including Hana, do not protect you against HIV infection (AIDS) or any other sexually transmitted disease. Only condoms can protect you from sexually transmitted infections. This product does not work as an emergency contraceptive. If it’s taken every day it will protect against pregnancy in the future. How to take Hana (Desogestrel) Mini-Pill 75mcg Tablets When and how to take the tablets Hana will not prevent pregnancy unless taken exactly as directed. Take one tablet at the same time every day, without a break between packs. Swallow the tablet whole. Choose a convenient time of day. It is best to link this to something you already do at the same time every day. For example, when you wake up, or when you brush your teeth. Never skip your daily tablet. Take it every day, even when you bleed or have spotting. The Hana pack contains 28/ tablets. The days of the week are printed on the pack, and arrows show the order to take the tablets. Every time you start a new pack of Hana, take a tablet labelled with the correct day. For example, if you start on a Wednesday, you must take a tablet marked with Wed. Don’t start with just any tablet. Continue to take one tablet a day until the pack is empty, following the direction shown by the arrows. When a pack is empty, you must start with a new pack of Hana on the next day, without a break, and without waiting for a bleed.
