Microlite is a type of contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy.
Microlite falls into the category of "combination" pills because it contains two hormones. Specifically, it is considered a "low-dose" contraceptive pill because it contains a relatively small amount of these hormones. This makes it a popular choice for women seeking effective contraception with potentially fewer side effects than higher-dose alternatives. Combination pills work primarily by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). They also thicken the cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg, and thin the lining of the uterus, making it less receptive to implantation.
