Description

Cilique is a combined oral contraceptive pill specifically formulated to prevent pregnancy while also helping to regulate menstrual cycles. Each active tablet contains norgestimate (250 mcg) and ethinylestradiol (35 mcg), which work together to prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and change the uterine lining to reduce the likelihood of pregnancy. In addition to contraceptive benefits, Cilique can help reduce period pain and manage heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding.

Key Strengths and Dosage:

Each Cilique pack includes 21 active tablets:

  • Norgestimate: 250 mcg
