A low-dose pill that’s over 99% effective.

Viorele is a combined birth control pill that’s got a smaller dose of estrogen in it. So if you’re more sensitive to estrogen, it could be just the right birth control for you.

Viorele is a low-dose combined hormonal birth control pill that has two hormones in it: a progesterone and an estrogen. Because it has less estrogen in it, it may cause fewer side effects for some women.
Viorele comes in a pack of 28 tablets. That’s where things get a little different. Viorele is a biphasic pill, which means you get two different doses of hormones throughout the month — in phases, if you will.
Your first 21 pills will be active pills. The next 2 are inactive. The last 5 pills in the pack are also active pills, but with a lower dose of estrogen than the first 21. You should take all of these pills in order, without skipping any.
Like other combined pills, Viorele reduces your pregnancy risk in three ways.
The two hormones in it change the body’s hormone balance, to stop the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation).
Viorele also thickens the mucus in the cervix which makes it harder for sperm to move through to the uterus to fertilize an egg, while the lining of the womb is made thinner. If the uterine lining is thinner, it’s less likely that a fertilized egg will be able to attach itself there, and develop.
When the lining of the uterus doesn’t build up as much, you may find that your periods are way lighter when you’re taking combined pills (so there are added benefits too).
So in short — Viorele covers a lot of bases.
Viorele is very effective, if you take it correctly. We’re talking more than 99% if you take it at the same time every day, without missing any pills.
So to put this into context, out of 100 women taking the pill over 12 months, less than one will get pregnant.
If you make mistakes when you take Viorele, or if you occasionally miss pills, its effectiveness decreases slightly (to around 91%). So about 9 women in every 100 will get pregnant in a year.
