Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Microgynon is a combined birth control pill containing ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. It is also used to keep the periods regular, lighter and less painful along with overcoming pre-menstrual symptoms.
Ferrous fumarate is iron supplement given to restore iron levels in the body and treat anaemia, which could be caused due to blood loss during heavy and prolonged bleeding.
Kindly take the medications as advised. Regular follow-up is also necessary.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
