Good morning. I have been taking microgynon tablets for two years, but when I wanted to buy them, the lady in the pharmacy told me that they do not have these tablets in the warehouse. So I signed up for a gynecologist and he recommended Vines pills. Are they very different from microgynon? Can there be any negative changes in my body? I'm afraid I've gotten used to the old pills and now I'm going to disturb it all

Both Microgynon and Vines are combined contraceptive pills, that is, they contain derivatives of two types of hormones - estrogen and progesterone. Both drugs contain the same estrogen derivative (ethinyl estradiol), but in different doses. They also differ in the progesterone derivative. You may feel different feelings after changing your contraception because your body will receive slightly different doses of different hormones. Not every patient will feel a change in the type of hormonal contraception, but it is worth being aware of this possibility. It is worth remembering about the possibility of buying substitutes for Microgynon: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/48863/microgynon-21-tabletki-powlekane/zamienniki Substitutes may have better availability in pharmacies (you can check it at GdziePoLek), you can buy them instead of Microgynon without the need to have a new prescription.
