Description

Femodene Tablets are a combined oral contraceptive pill designed to provide effective pregnancy prevention while offering additional benefits, including regulation of the menstrual cycle, reduced menstrual pain, and lighter periods. Each Femodene pill contains two active ingredients—gestodene (75 mcg) and ethinylestradiol (30 mcg)—which work together to prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and alter the uterine lining, making it less receptive to fertilized eggs. Available through MedCare Health Clinic, Femodene is a reliable option for those seeking hormonal contraception.

Key Strengths and Dosage:

Each Femodene pack contains 21 active tablets, each with the following composition:

  • Gestodene: 75 mcg
  • Ethinylestradiol: 30 mcg

After completing a pack, users typically take a 7-day break during which a withdrawal bleed occurs, simulating a natural menstrual period.

Directions for Use:

  1. Starting Femodene:
    • Take one tablet daily for 21 consecutive days, ideally at the same time each day.
    • After finishing the pack, take a 7-day break with no pills, during which a period-like bleed usually occurs.
    • Start a new pack on the 8th day, even if bleeding continues, to maintain contraceptive efficacy.
  2. Missed Dose Guidance:
    • If a tablet is missed, take it as soon as remembered. If missed by more than 24 hours, the missed dose could reduce effectiveness. Refer to the Patient Information Leaflet or consult a healthcare provider for guidance.

Ingredients:

  • Active Ingredients:
    • Gestodene: 75 mcg
    • Ethinylestradiol: 30 mcg
  • Other Ingredients: Lactose monohydrate, maize starch, povidone, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, titanium dioxide, macrogol, and other excipients.

Side Effects:

Most users tolerate Femodene well, though mild side effects may occur, especially during the first few months:

  • Headache, mild nausea, or mood changes
  • Breast tenderness or minor spotting
  • Breakthrough bleeding (usually subsides after the first few cycles)

Rare but serious side effects include signs of blood clots, such as sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, or severe headaches. If you experience these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
