Hana is a daily contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy in women of childbearing age. It is an oral hormonal contraceptive that works primarily by preventing a woman’s egg cell from ripening. It also has an effect on cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus. Hana only contains one type of female sex hormone: a progestogen called desogestrel, meaning it is a progestogen-only pill (POP).
In contrast to the combined pill, Hana can be used by women who cannot take oestrogens, or do not want to, and women who are breast-feeding. However, hormonal contraceptive, including Hana, do not protect your against HIV infection or any other sexually transmitted disease. Only condoms can protect you from sexually transmitted infections.
This product does not work as an emergency contraceptive. If it’s taken every day it will protect against pregnancy in the future.

The most common side effects women experience with Hana include nausea, headache, breast pain, decreased sex drive, altered mood, and irregular or no periods. Up to 1 in 10 women may experience these side effects.
A rare but serious side effect that has been reported is ectopic pregnancy. This is when a baby develops outside the womb and it is a medical emergency. If you notice a sudden or severe pain in the lower stomach area with or without vaginal bleeding you should contact your doctor immediately.
Women taking hormonal contraceptive pills are at increased risk of blood clots, although more research is needed to study the link between progestogen-only pills and blood clots. If you notice any symptoms of a blood clot you should seek medical attention immediately.
Most women will notice changes to their periods when taking Hana. These changes can be having no periods, having infrequent periods, or noticing spotting or bleeding when you are not having your period. You can continue taking Hana as normal if you experience these changes. However, you should see your doctor if your periods are unusually heavy or frequent, you bleed during or after sex, or you think there are unexpected changes to your period when taking Hana.
