Can Microgynon Be Taken In Place Of Logynon?
Hi there, I have been using Logynon for the past 5 years with no problem at all, I have now moved overseas to a remote island location, whereby the only choice at the pharmacy (2 hours by boat!) is microgynon. Is it safe/ok for me to switch once I run out of Logynon? Thanks!

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, you can continue using microgynon instead of logynon as both containing the almost the same proportion of oral contraceptives in form of hormones needed to interfere with implantation and thus avoiding pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
