Description
Overview
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:
