The progestogen-only pill (the mini-pill)

Last updated 05 Jul 2010, review date due 05 Jul 2012

The following information applies to you if you take clobazam, clonazepam, ethosuximide, gabapentin, lacosamide, levetiracetam, pregabalin, sodium valproate, tiagabine, vigabatrin or zonisamide.

The mini-pill only works well if you take it according to the instructions from your doctor. This usually means taking it at the same time each day. If you don’t, there is a risk that you will get pregnant.
