An Overview of Mircette Overdose
Mircette® (desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol) is an oral contraceptive ("birth control pill") that is only available by prescription. The effects of a Mircette overdose may vary depending on a number of factors, including the
Mircette dosage and whether it was taken with any other substances, medications, or street drugs.
If you happen to overdose on Mircette, seek immediate medical attention.
Mircette Overdose Effects
An overdose of Mircette (or any other birth control pill) may cause nausea and vomiting. In females (even in young girls), an overdose of Mircette may cause vaginal bleeding. In cases of children inadvertently taking large doses of
birth control pills, no serious problems have been reported.
Treatment for a Mircette Overdose
It is not known how best to treat a Mircette overdose. Therefore, treatment (if necessary) will typically involve supportive care, which consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. In many cases, treatment may not be necessary (although medical attention is still necessary to rule out any problems).
Even though a Mircette overdose is unlikely to cause serious problems, it is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you or someone else may have overdosed on Mircette.
