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

Pack Composition

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

  • Gestodene: 75 mcg
    • Ethinylestradiol: 30 mcg

Dosing Cycle

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

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.
