Description
Femodene is a combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP) used to prevent pregnancy and support cycle control. Each active tablet contains gestodene 75 micrograms and ethinylestradiol 30 micrograms. If you want to buy Femodene online in the UK, a regulated provider will usually require a short medical suitability assessment before supply.
What Is Femodene?
Femodene is a 21-day combined pill. The two hormones work together to reduce the chance of pregnancy by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach the egg, and changing the uterine lining so it is less receptive to implantation.
