Dear XXXXXXX,

Thanks for your query.

Microgynon is known to cause headache and dizzy spills in some people. It might also cause thombosis in blood vessels. It is better stop this drug and change over to new one. Hence I advice you to visit your gynecologist and ask for a different prescription with low dose of estrogen and progesterone. otherwise you can go for different mode of contraception (eg. IUCD).

Please come up with follow ups if any or do kindly accept my answer
