Why Choose Mercilon?

  • Targeted Contraceptive Solution: Mercilon is a combined hormonal contraceptive pill designed to prevent pregnancy. It contains two active ingredients—ethinylestradiol (an estrogen) and desogestrel (a progestin)—which work together to inhibit ovulation, thicken cervical mucus to block sperm, and alter the uterine lining to prevent implantation.

  • Reliable and Effective: Mercilon provides highly reliable contraception when taken consistently and correctly. With a 21-day cycle followed by a 7-day pill-free interval, it offers straightforward cycle management. In addition to pregnancy prevention, Mercilon helps regulate menstrual cycles, making periods more predictable and reducing menstrual pain.

  • Prescription-Based for Personalised Care: Mercilon is a prescription-only medication, ensuring that your contraceptive method is personalised to suit your specific health needs. After a thorough consultation, our healthcare professionals will review your medical history and recommend Mercilon if it’s suitable for you.

  • Trusted UK Clinical Expertise: Our licensed UK clinicians provide expert guidance to help you make informed decisions about contraception. We are committed to delivering high-quality care and ensuring you receive the support you need for safe and effective contraception.

  • Affordable and Discreet Delivery: Mercilon is available in convenient 3-month or 6-month pack options, offering flexibility. Your medication will be delivered discreetly and securely to your home, ensuring your privacy is protected.

How Is Mercilon Used?
Mercilon is taken orally, once a day for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day pill-free interval, during which you may experience withdrawal bleeding. It is important to take Mercilon at the same time each day to ensure maximum effectiveness. Always follow the guidance of your healthcare provider.

Is Mercilon Right for You?
Before starting Mercilon, consult with our licensed clinicians to discuss your health history, lifestyle, and any other medications you are taking. This ensures that Mercilon is safe and effective for your contraceptive needs and menstrual cycle management.
