Description

Sunya 20/75 is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol (20 micrograms) and gestodene (75 micrograms). It is designed for women who seek effective, reliable contraception with the added benefit of cycle control. As a low-dose combined pill, it is suitable for users who prefer a lighter hormonal load while still benefiting from high contraceptive efficacy.

How It Works
The active hormones in Sunya work synergistically to prevent pregnancy. Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic oestrogen, and gestodene is a synthetic progestogen. Together, they inhibit ovulation, increase the thickness of cervical mucus to make it difficult for sperm to reach an egg, and alter the endometrial lining to reduce the likelihood of implantation. When taken consistently, Sunya offers over 99% contraceptive effectiveness.

Why Choose Sunya
Sunya offers a lower oestrogen dose compared to standard combined pills, which may reduce the risk of certain hormone-related side effects. It helps users achieve lighter and more regular periods, and may improve hormonal acne or menstrual discomfort. The 21-day active pill schedule followed by a 7-day break is straightforward and familiar for many patients.

Important Note
Sunya must be taken daily and at the same time each day to ensure contraceptive reliability. Missing pills, especially at the start or end of a pack, may reduce its effectiveness. This medication does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Individuals with a history of thrombosis, hormone-sensitive cancers, or certain migraines should not take Sunya without specialist assessment.
