Cilique

Cilique as a Contraception

Cilique is a combined contraceptive pill that works to prevent pregnancy and regulate menstruation symptoms while reducing monthly bleeding. It can be up to 99% effective at preventing pregnancies when taken correctly. Cilique is a reliable, easy-to-take and reversible pill that is favourable to some women.

What is Cilique and how does it work?

Cilique contains the hormones ethinylestradiol and norgestimate which prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg as well as making it more difficult for sperm cells to reach the egg. Cilique is a 21-day pill that is taken consecutively, followed by 7 pill-free days.
