Description
Mercilon is a combined oral contraceptive pill (‘the Pill’). You take it to prevent pregnancy. These hormones prevent an egg being released from your ovaries so you cannot get pregnant. Mercilon also makes the fluid (mucus) in your cervix thicker which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb.
