Mercilon pill - Combined Pill

Not a good fit for me, was put on mercilon as a lower dose alternative to microgynon but it made my skin erupt and had really bad vaginal dryness which subsequently caused outbreaks of cystitis, stopped taking it after 4 months. Now trying Maexini and hoping that works better.
