HI, thanks for using healthcare

This is a commonly used combination . These are two hormones , an estrogen and an progesterone.

It is most commonly used for contraception but there are other uses.

There are possible side effects with any medication including hormonal medication. These side effects occur in the minority of persons using the medication.

The possible side effects are:headache, nausea, confusion, swelling of the legs, change in appetite. There are a few other potential side effects.

I hope this helps
