Pill Online®
The low-dose pill is a pill that contains two types of female hormones,
•Estrogen
•Progesterone
and is intended for birth control.
While taking the drug, follicle maturation and ovulation are suppressed, and the endometrium does not thicken, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant, thus providing a high contraceptive effect.
There are two types of pills, regular pills and multiphasic pills with different amounts of hormones.
Take one pill a day from the first day of menstruation, at about the same time.
After taking the drug for 21 days and then taking a 7-day rest period, menstruation begins during the rest period.
Low-dose pills are tablets for contraception that contain the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.
These hormones act on the pituitary gland to prevent follicle maturation and therefore stop ovulation.
It also makes implantation of embryos and entry of sperm difficult through manipulation of the endometrium and cervical mucus.
Low-dose pills have the lowest hormone levels available that are effective for contraception.
This reduces the side-effects of older, conventional pills.
With correct use, ovulation can be suppressed and effective contraception occurs.
Some side effects may occur, such as nausea or chest tightness.
These are temporary and gradually disappear with continued use.
Low dose pills are taken one tablet per day, from the first day of menstruation.
They should be taken every day at the same time, for 21 days.
After taking the drug for 21 days, take a rest period of 7 days and repeat the procedure.
Menstruation usually begins during the withdrawal period.
There are two types of low-dose pills: one sheet contains 21 pills and the other contains 28 pills.
In the 21-pill type, you simply forego taking any pill during the 7 “pill-free” days, and then begin again.
For the 28-pill sheet, you take the special placebo pills for those 7 days, and then move to a new sheet directly without stopping.
Since there is no time when you stop taking pills, it helps to keep the habit of taking them at the same time each day.
This is the type of pill we use at our clinic.
"monophasic pills," which contain the same amount of hormones in all 21 tablets of a single cycle, and "multiphasic pills," which gradually change the amount of hormones according to a woman's body rhythm.
Multiphasic pills that change hormone levels in two stages are called "biphasic pills," while those that change in three stages are called "triphasic pills."
Representative examples of monophasic pills include Marvelon, while Angeliq and Tricycler are examples of triphasic pills.
Our clinic offers Marvelon 28 as a monophasic pill and Angeliq 28 as a triphasic pill.
The pill types "Anju 28" and "Marvelon 28" handled by our clinic are genuine manufactured and officially permitted for use in Japan.
This is a 28-day triphasic-type low-dose pill.
Take the active pills for 21 days, and then the placebo pill for 7 days.
Hormonal changes mimic a menstrual cycle.
Start with the first pill on the first day of the menstrual period, and then move daily with each number.
After taking the 28th tablet, move to a new sheet and start with the first tablet.
Marvelon 28 is a 1-phase low-dose contraceptive pill with a 28-day cycle.
It contains white active pills for 21 days, followed by green placebo pills for 7 days.
Marvelon is said to have beauty benefits as well, as it can improve acne by balancing hormones, and is even prescribed by dermatologists.
The first time, it is necessary to check whether the patient and the medicine are compatible, so only one sheet (one month) will be prescribed.
If the patient is satisfied with the first sheet, up to six sheets (six months) can be prescribed from the second time.
In addition to the fee for the medication, there is a ¥500 online consultation charge.
This is a Pill Online® fee, which is different from the fee applied when visiting the clinic in person.
