About Maexeni Combined Contraceptive Pill

Maexeni Combined Contraceptive Pill FAQs

• What Is Maexeni?

  

  Maexeni is a combined oral contraceptive pill. It contains two synthetic hormones, ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel, which are artificial versions of oestrogen and progesterone. It stops pregnancy by preventing your body from releasing an egg, thickening your cervical mucus, so sperm have a harder time getting through, and thinning your womb lining to prevent implantation.

• Do I Need A Prescription For Maexeni?

  

  Yes, you'll need a prescription before you can take Maexeni. To get a prescription, you’ll complete a short health questionnaire that a licensed prescriber will review. They’ll ensure that Maexeni is safe to use and the best option for your circumstances and issue you the prescription if so.

• How Do I Take Maexeni?

  

  Take one tablet at the same time each day for 21 days. After the 21 days are up, you’ll then take a seven-day break where you don’t take any pills. You should start your bleed during this break, and then on the eighth day, start the new strip of 21 pills even if you’re still bleeding.

• How Soon Does Maexeni Work?

  

  This depends on when in your menstrual cycle you start taking Maexeni. If you start your pack on the first day of your period, you’ll be protected against pregnancy straight away. If you start at any other time, make sure you use condoms for the first seven days.

• Who Should Not Use Maexeni?

  

  You shouldn’t use Maexini if you have or have ever had:

  • Blood clots
  • Breast cancer
  • Heart attack
  • Liver disease
  • Migraine with aura
  • Stroke
  • Very high blood pressure
  • Very high cholesterol

  You should also avoid Maexeni if you’re allergic to any of the ingredients.

• Does Maexeni Protect Against STIs?

  

  No, Maexeni doesn’t protect against STIs. Only condoms can effectively protect you from getting or passing on an STI. Condoms act as a barrier between body parts and stop the exchange of bodily fluids during sex and sexual acts.

• Does Maexeni Cause Weight Gain?

  

  Weight gain is a possible side effect of taking Maexeni, but it doesn’t happen to everyone who takes it. Eating a balanced diet and participating in regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight and reduce your chance of putting on weight while taking Maexeni. If you experience any unwanted side effects, including weight gain, speak to your prescriber.

• Can Maexeni Regulate My Periods?

  

  Maexeni will likely make your periods more regular, lighter, and less painful. Many people report experiencing these positive side effects when they take Maexeni as directed. It can also help with any premenstrual symptoms you usually experience by reducing the severity of these symptoms.

• What Should I Do If I Miss A Pill?

  

  If you miss a pill by less than 12 hours, take the delayed pill as soon as you remember and your next pill at the normal time. This might mean you take two pills in one day, but that’s fine.

  If it’s been more than 12 hours since you were due to take your missed pill, or you have missed more than one pill, take the most recently missed pill immediately and then the next due pill at the normal time. Use additional forms of birth control for the next seven days and check the patient information leaflet for further instructions.
