Description

Femodene as a Contraception

Contraceptive pills are the most common form of medicated birth control. Femodene is a combined oral contraceptive that can prevent pregnancy and reduce the discomfort associated with periods.    

Femodene is a 21-day pill that is a reliable and reversible form of birth control when taken correctly.

What is Femodene and how does it work?

The active ingredients are the two hormones gestodene and ethinylestradiol. They work to ensure it is harder for the sperm to reach an egg by increasing the mucus in the cervix and preventing an egg from releasing. This pill will also change the lining of the womb to ensure an egg cannot grow in it.

Femodene is a combined contraceptive pill. It works to stop ovulation and can be 99% effective when taken correctly.
