Mircette (desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol and ethinyl estradiol) Tablets have excellent cycle control as demonstrated by clinical trials. The regimen begins with 21 days of 20 mcg ethinyl estradiol and 150 mcg desogestrel. The last seven days in the cycle start with two days of placebo pills, followed by five days of 10 mcg ethinyl estradiol pills.

Mircette reduces the daily estrogen dose from the commonly prescribed 30-35 mcg level, while maintaining excellent cycle control and favorable tolerability.

Mircette is an oral contraceptive (also called "the pill"). Like other pills for birth control, it is taken to prevent pregnancy.

How it works

Mircette contains the female hormones estrogen and progesterone that act to prevent ovulation—the release of an egg from the ovary. The hormones also lead to changes in the mucus of the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to enter into the uterus. In addition, they cause changes in the lining of the uterus, lowering the chances that an embryo will attach to the uterus and develop into a baby.

When taken correctly, pills like Mircette are over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. Keep in mind, however, that they do not offer protection against AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases.

Other benefits

Through the years, doctors have found that birth control pills offer health benefits not related to the prevention of pregnancy. When birth control pills are taken, menstrual cycles tend to become more regular, cramps may occur less often, and blood flow may be lighter, so less iron is lost from the body. The pill also lowers the chances of cysts forming on the ovaries, noncancerous lumps from occurring on the breasts, and acute pelvic inflammatory disease from happening. The pill may even guard against cancer of the ovaries and cancer of the lining of the uterus.

How Mircette differs from other pills

Mircette has a unique dosing schedule.* The first 21 white pills contain estrogen and progesterone. Unlike other 28-day pills that have 7 green inactive pills at the end of the cycle pack, Mircette has only 2 green inactive pills followed by 5 yellow pills that contain estrogen. To achieve maximum benefits from Mircette, it is important for you to take all 28 pills. Do not discard any of them. Also, remember to take the pills at the same time each day.

What to expect when taking birth control pills


When you begin to take birth control pills, you may feel sick to your stomach or have spotting or light bleeding in between your periods. This is common during the first 3 months of use, and it is normal. In time, these side effects will disappear. DO NOT stop taking the pills for the above reasons. If you stop taking the pills or if you forget to take them, you may get pregnant. The more pills you don't take or forget, the more likely you are to get pregnant. If that happens, you and your partner must use a back-up method of birth control, such as foam or condoms.

Talk with your doctor


Most women can take the pill safely. However, serious complications may occur if you:

• Smoke

• Have a history of heart attack or stroke

• Have had blood clots in your lungs, eyes, legs, or in the deep veins of your legs

Do not use birth control pills if you are pregnant. Also, the pill may not be the right choice for you if you have other conditions not listed here. Therefore, be sure to talk to your doctor about your medical history.


Getting started


You have a choice of which day to start taking your first pack of pills. You may begin taking the pill on the first day of your period (Day 1 Start) or on the first Sunday after your period begins (Sunday Start). Decide with your doctor or health care provider which is the best day for you.
