WHAT BROOKE IS
USED FOR
BROOKE is a combined oral
contraceptive, commonly known as a
'birth control pill' or 'the Pill'.
BROOKE is used to prevent
pregnancy.
It is also used to treat moderate acne
in women seeking oral contraception
and to treat symptoms of
premenstrual dysphoric disorder
(PMDD).
You may also experience the
following benefits:
•
improvement in symptoms like
bloating, swelling or weight gain
related to fluid retention
•
more regular, shorter and lighter
periods
•
a decrease in anaemia (iron
deficiency)
•
a decrease in period pain
•
improvement in symptoms like
bloating, swelling or weight gain
related to fluid retention.
Some conditions such as pelvic
inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts,
ectopic pregnancy, fibrocystic breast
changes and cancer of the uterus
(womb) and ovaries may be less
common in women taking the Pill.
When taken correctly, it prevents you
from becoming pregnant in several
ways including:
•
inhibiting the egg release by
stopping it maturing
•
changing the cervical mucus
consistency, making it more
difficult for the sperm to reach
the egg.
BROOKE has 24 active (hormone)
tablets and 4 inactive tablets, rather
than the traditional 21 active tablets
and 7 inactive tablets. This means
that with BROOKE, you take the
active (hormone) tablets for three
more days. This helps your hormone
