Frequently Asked Questions for Femodene

What It Is

Femodene is a prescription-only combined contraceptive pill designed to prevent pregnancy. It combines two hormones to suppress ovulation and modify the uterine environment, making it a reliable option for short- and long-term contraception.

How It Works

The active ingredients, ethinylestradiol and gestodene, work together to:

  • Stop the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation)
  • Thicken cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach an egg
  • Thin the uterine lining, reducing the likelihood of egg implantation

These combined actions make Femodene a highly effective contraceptive when taken as directed.

How to Use

  • Standard Use: Take one pill daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break.
  • Alternative Regimens:
    • Tricycling: Take a pill daily for 9 weeks, then have a 4- or 7-day break.
    • Continuous Use: Take one pill daily without a break.
    • Flexible Use: Take for at least 21 days, then take a 4-day break if needed for bleeding, resuming daily use thereafter.
  • Always follow your doctor’s instructions and take pills at the same time each day.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Breast tenderness
  • Stomach discomfort
  • Period-like cramping

Rarely, Femodene can increase the risk of blood clots. If you notice unusual symptoms such as severe leg pain or chest discomfort, seek immediate medical attention.

Warnings and Precautions

Missed Pills:

    • If less than 48 hours have passed, take the missed pill as soon as you remember and continue the pack as usual.
    • If more than 48 hours have passed, follow the guidance in the patient information leaflet.
  • Do not start Femodene if you suspect you are pregnant.
  • Combined contraceptives may raise blood pressure; ensure regular monitoring.
  • Inform your doctor if you are taking other medications, including over-the-counter or herbal remedies, to avoid interactions.
  • Discuss with your healthcare provider if you have a history of:
    • Blood clots
    • Migraines
    • Uncontrolled high blood pressure
    • Liver or heart conditions

Always consult your doctor if you have any concerns or questions about starting or continuing Femodene.
