Description
What is Femodette?
Femodette is a monophasic contraceptive that contains the hormones oestrogen and progesterone. These hormones are useful as they prevent the penetration of sperms into the womb, thus reducing the chances of getting pregnant. Use these pills correctly and you will have over 99% protection against pregnancy. However, these pills won't protect you against Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). As a result, you might still want to use a condom.
How Does Femodette Work?
Femodette ED helps prevent pregnancies by preventing the release of eggs from the ovaries. Cervix mucus is thickened, which prevents the penetration of sperms into the womb. The pill also prevents the womb lining from thickening and thus prevents an egg from penetrating.
Because it prevents ovulation, thickens cervical mucus to block sperm entry, and alters the uterine lining to prevent implantation, it offers multiple levels of contraception.
Warnings
Femodene may not be the best option for you if you:
- Are allergic to any of its ingredients
- Have angina pectoris
- Have severe migraines or diabetes
- Have a history of breast cancer stroke or heart attack
- Have impaired liver function
- Have high blood pressure
- Have or have had a blood clot or blood clotting disorder
- Your blood has high lipid levels.
Consult your doctor to see if you have any other condition that might prevent you from using Femodene as a preferred contraceptive.
Directions
You should use Femodette only after consulting the instructions and a healthcare professional:
- Take a pill every day for the next 21 days.
- Swallow it with water.
- Try taking your pills at around the same time each day.
- You can then take a 7-day pill free break once you are done with the 21 pills.
- Expect a withdrawal bleed during this break.
- Start a new pack of Femodette after the 7-day break.
- Remember, you are still safe from getting pregnant during the 7-day pill-free break. But only if you took your pills as advised.
