Uses
Mercilon 28 (Ethinylestradiol/Desogestrel) is an oral contraceptive prescribed to prevent pregnancy. It works by acting on the ovaries to prevent ovulation and egg fertilization. The medication also thickens mucous to discourage sperm from fertilizing a released egg and alters the lining of the uterus to prevent an egg from implanting.

Dosage and Administration
Follow your doctor`s instructions for using Mercilon 28 (Ethinylestradiol/Desogestrel) to ensure the correct results from treatment. The medication should be taken once each day as scheduled. Your doctor may prescribe another regimen based on your health condition, symptoms, or responses to other treatments. Do not self-medicate as this could cause health problems or render the treatment ineffective.

When taking your doses, swallow the tablets unaltered along with a full glass of water. They can be administered on an empty stomach, but a meal is recommended if you experience an upset stomach. Never crush, split, or chew the contents of the tablets to prevent destroying them or altering their effects. You should also take the doses at the same times each day to get the most effective treatment by keeping a consistent amount of medication in the body at all times.

Attend regular doctor consultations to make sure the treatment is having the proper results. After observing your response to treatment, symptoms, and health condition, you may be instructed to adjust your dosage or frequency of administration until the best results occur. Follow these directions and ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
