Mircette

What is Mircette?

Mircette has a mix of female hormones that block the process of ovulation (the release of eggs from the ovary). The medicine can also cause changes in the cervical mucus as well as the uterine liner, which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus as well as making it harder for a fertilized egg to connect to your uterus.

Mircette is a birth contraceptive pill that is used to stop the occurrence of pregnancy.

Mircette is also used to treat conditions not covered in the medication guide.
