Femodene (63 tablets)

Femodene (Ethinylestradiol and Gestodene) 30mcg/75mcg Tablets
Prescription-Only Medication (POM)

Product Overview:
Femodene is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains Ethinylestradiol 30mcg and Gestodene 75mcg. This combination works to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation (the release of an egg), thickening the cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and altering the lining of the womb to prevent implantation. Femodene provides a reliable, daily oral contraceptive method for women seeking effective contraception.

Indications:
Femodene is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who wish to use a combined oral contraceptive. It is a well-regulated method of birth control, ideal for women who prefer a combination hormonal contraceptive.

Dosage and Administration:

• Take one tablet of Femodene daily at the same time each day.

• The pack contains 21 active tablets and should be taken continuously for three weeks, followed by a seven-day break (or seven days of placebo tablets) before starting a new pack.

• Femodene can be taken with or without food. It is important to follow the prescribed schedule without skipping doses.

• If a tablet is missed, refer to the patient information leaflet or consult your healthcare provider for advice.

Warnings and Precautions:

• Femodene should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

• Consult your doctor if you experience any symptoms such as severe headaches, visual disturbances, or leg swelling, as these may indicate a more serious health issue.
