Description

Rigevidon as a Contraception

Rigevidon is a form of combined contraception that is taken to prevent unwanted pregnancy for women. It is an oral birth control pill to be taken consecutively for 21 days with a 7-day break or alternatively, depending on your consultation with the GP or doctor. This is a reversible and reliable birth control pill (when taken correctly) and can also help alleviate symptoms of menstruation.

What is Rigevidon and how does it work?

The pill contains a low dose of two synthetic versions of the female hormones progesterone (levonorgestrel) and oestrogen (ethinylestradiol). As a combination pill, it works in three ways, by altering the lining of the womb, stopping an ovary from being released and making it more difficult for sperm to reach an egg by thickening the mucus.

Is Rigevidon right for me?

If you are looking for an effective oral contraceptive, Rigevidon may be right for you. However, it may not be suitable for you if you have the following:

  • If you are allergic to ethinylestradiol or levonorgestrel or any of the other ingredients of this medicine
  • If you have ever had a blood clot or are at risk of a blood clot
  • If you have severe heart, liver or kidney problems
  • If you have high or low blood pressure
  • If you have ever had a migraine with aura
  • If you are suspected of having cancer of the womb, vagina, breast or cervix
  • If you have unexplained bleeding from the vagina


Side Effects

All medications can cause potential side effects, below we have listed some potential side effects of Rigevidon. However, these do not always occur and are mostly mild in nature. But if you experience any prolonged or worrying side effects of Rigevidon, please discontinue the medication immediately and consult your doctor.

Common side effects include:

  • Vaginitis
  • Mood swings, altered sexual drive
  • Nervousness
  • Tender breasts or breast enlargement
  • Weight gain
  • Headaches, migraine
  • Nausea, vomiting
  • Irregular bleeding
  • Risk of a blood clot
  • Abdominal pain
  • Acne
  • Painful menstruation

Additional Information

Rigevidon Contraceptive Pills

Rigevidon is manufactured by British pharmaceutical company Pfizer.

Contraceptive pills work by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). They also thicken the mucus in the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to penetrate and fertilise an egg. When taken properly, the drug is effective at helping prevent pregnancy. Rigevidon can be used if your period feels extremely heavy. Rigevidon contains progesterone and ethinylstrogen and when taken properly can provide up to 90% of the recommended doses. 


How to take Rigevidon?

Each daily dose is covered by tablets. It is best if you try the pill once every two hours. It is usually easiest to take this last thing in the evening or first thing in the evening. Take 2-4 capsules and wash well in hot water when required. Each pack contains one memo strip of 21 coated tablets and three memo strips of 21 coated tablets. Memostrips were made to keep you on your medication. Each package contains a date on which to start a new medication. The instructions on the arrow on the pack should give you an oral capsule each day. You'll be allowed 7 days without taking any pills.


How does it work?

During menstrual periods women will release eggs each time. During pregnancy ethylestradiol - ethyl - is a drug which inhibits the formation of the ovary. These synthetics resemble oestrogen or testosterone and contain synthetic versions. If you take these medications daily it's possible that your hormone is acting as though your ovaries are already occurring. Additionally, the hormone thickens the mucus in the womb thereby making the sperm less likely to get to egg. The uterine walls change so the fertilised eggs don't implant, which is important for preventing pregnancy in women.


How do I take Rigevidon?

Rigevidon is a monophasic pill that consists of different amounts of hormone. One pill a day can last 21 days followed by one day break. During 7 days of breaks hormone level drops and there will also be an induced withdrawal of blood which will look a bit like regular periods. The next pill pack can be taken after the 14 day pill free period, irrespective of the withdrawal bleeding. For convenience they can be supplied in numbered calendar packs which identify days of the week and allows the user to keep one daily. You should take this medication once a day.


What is Rigevidon?

Rigevidon is a combination of oral contraceptives. You can also refer to this medication. This is the most widely known form of contraceptive treatment that is effective more than 90% of the time if used properly. Rigevidon is a generic form for Microgynaeon. Generics are similar to brands. There's no difference in name or price. Rigevidon provides a benefit in reducing recurring pain for women suffering from severe periods. Please remember that the medication isn't effective in stopping your sex infection - just a condom does the same job for that.


Rigevidon and cancer

Avoid using this medication for breast or other cancers you've had before. In fact, hormonal contraceptives can increase breast cancer risks. If you stop taking Pills for ten years, your risk is reduced. Women older and overweight are more susceptible to breast cancer. Make sure to use Rigevidon if you know your close friend has had breast cancer previously. Check your breasts or nipple periodically to see if they are changing or are lumpy. If something is abnormal, see a doctor immediately. Rigevidon increases your risk of developing the disease.


How does Rigevidon work?

Rigevidon tablets contain 2 active components, ethinyl estradiol and lenovorterol. These synthetics mimic the natural female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone. Ethinylestradiols are a synthetic form of oestrogen and levonorgestrels are the synthetic form of progesterone. Combining oral contraceptives such as Rigevidon works to bypass regular menstruation. In women's normal menstrual cycles hormones change from month to month. The hormone helps the egg to clobber in the womb.


Tell me the best time to take Rigevidon?

Rigevidon starts the first day of your menstrual cycle which is the first day of your period. It protects pregnant women immediately. It starts from Day Five without a prescription for contraception.

What is Rigevidon?

Rigevidon is a combined contraceptive pill, often called "the pill." It contains two active ingredients: ethinylestradiol, a synthetic version of the female hormone oestrogen, and levonorgestrel, a synthetic version of the female hormone progesterone. Manufactured by Gedeon Richter, the Rigevidon contraceptive pill is available with a prescription from a healthcare professional.

Rigevidon contains 150mcg of levonorgestrel and 30mcg of ethinylestradiol, which is the same dosage as many other contraceptive pills, like Microgynon, Ovranette and Levest.

What is Rigevidon used for?

Rigevidon is primarily used for contraception, allowing women to have control over their reproductive choices. Preventing pregnancy provides an effective means of family planning and enables women to plan their lives according to their personal needs and desires.

How does Rigevidon work?

Rigevidon works by using its two active ingredients to prevent ovulation, alter the cervical mucus to make it difficult for sperm to penetrate, and change the lining of the womb to prevent the implantation of a fertilised egg. "The combined oral contraceptive pill works by stopping the ovaries from releasing an egg each month, making it harder for sperm to reach an egg and altering the lining of the womb "explains Dr. Sarah Jarvis, a UK-based general practitioner.

What are the benefits of Rigevidon?

Rigevidon is a combined pill with several benefits for users, including effective contraception, improved menstrual cycle regularity, and reduced menstrual pain. Combined oral contraceptive pills are over 99% effective when used correctly. Additionally, women who use Rigevidon may experience lighter, less painful periods.

Dosages of Rigevidon

Rigevidon is typically taken in 21-day cycles, followed by a 7-day pill-free interval. During this interval, a withdrawal bleed similar to a period occurs. Each Rigevidon pill should be taken at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness.

Rigevidon 3 Month Course Explained

A three-month course of Rigevidon consists of taking the pill daily for three consecutive 21-day cycles, with a 7-day pill-free interval between each cycle. This means that, over the course of three months, a user will have taken a total of 63 pills (21 pills per cycle) and experienced three withdrawal bleeds.

Rigevidon 6 Month Course Explained

A six-month course of Rigevidon involves taking the pill daily for six consecutive 21-day cycles, with a 7-day pill-free interval between each cycle. Over the course of six months, a user will have taken a total of 126 pills (21 pills per cycle) and experienced six withdrawal bleeds.

Can I get Rigevidon over the counter?

Rigevidon is a prescription-only medication, which means it cannot be obtained over the counter. A healthcare professional must assess your medical history and suitability before prescribing Rigevidon or any other contraceptive pill.

When should I start taking Rigevidon?

You can start taking Rigevidon at any time in your menstrual cycle. If you start it on day 1 to 5 of your period, you'll be protected from pregnancy straight away. You can start taking Rigevidon on the first day of your menstrual cycle (the first day of your period). If you start taking it later in your cycle, consult your healthcare professional for guidance on additional contraceptive precautions needed for the initial days.

Can I take Rigevidon without a break?

It is possible to take Rigevidon without a break, but you should consult your healthcare professional before doing so. Skipping the 7-day pill-free interval can help avoid a withdrawal bleed, but it may increase the risk of breakthrough bleeding or spotting.

What happens if you miss a Rigevidon pill?

If a pill is missed or a new pack is initiated a day late, take the missed pill as soon as possible. It is necessary to take the missed pill even if it requires consuming two pills simultaneously. Pregnancy protection should still be maintained, eliminating the need for additional protection or emergency contraception. Continue taking the rest of the pack as usual.

In the event that the pack concludes within six days after the missed pill, forego the seven-day break and proceed with the next pack.

If more than two days have elapsed since the missed pill, pregnancy protection may no longer be guaranteed. Continue taking the pill as usual, but abstain from unprotected intercourse for the following seven days. If unprotected intercourse has occurred since the missed pill, emergency contraception should be considered.

Can I take Rigevidon to delay my period?

Yes, Rigevidon can be used to delay your period. To do this, skip the 7-day pill-free interval between packs and start a new pack immediately after finishing the previous one. Consult your healthcare professional before using Rigevidon to delay your period.

Can I use Rigevidon as emergency contraception?

Rigevidon is not suitable as emergency contraception. If you require emergency contraception, speak to a healthcare professional or pharmacist about options like the morning-after pill.

What should I do if I think I’m getting Rigevidon side effects?

If you suspect you are experiencing side effects from Rigevidon, contact your healthcare professional. They can assess your symptoms, provide advice, and, if necessary, suggest an alternative contraceptive method.

What is a substitute for Rigevidon?

There are several alternatives to Rigevidon, including other combined oral contraceptive pills with different hormone combinations, progestogen-only pills, contraceptive patches, vaginal rings, injections, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and barrier methods. Consult a healthcare professional to determine the most suitable contraceptive method based on your individual needs and medical history.

Can I buy birth control over the counter?

Some forms of birth control, like condoms, can be purchased over the counter. However, prescription-only methods, including Rigevidon and other contraceptive pills, require a consultation with a healthcare professional before they can be obtained.

Can I take 3 packs of Rigevidon back to back?

Taking three packs of Rigevidon back to back is a possibility for some women, but it is essential to consult a healthcare professional before doing so. Dr. Sarah Jarvis, a UK-based general practitioner, states that "skipping the pill-free interval between packs can help avoid a withdrawal bleed, but it may increase the risk of breakthrough bleeding or spotting." By taking Rigevidon continuously, women may experience fewer periods; however, the risk of side effects may increase.

Can I buy Rigevidon from Boots?

Yes Rigevidon can be purchased from Boots, but it requires a prescription for purchase.

Does Rigevidon stop periods?

Yes, Rigevidon can halt periods if taken continuously without interruption. Upon discontinuing the pill, normal periods will resume, although it may take up to six months for the usual pattern of bleeding to return after ceasing contraceptive pill use.

Can Rigevidon cause weight gain?

Fluid retention is a possible side effect of taking Rigevidon. This side effect has also been reported for other combined pills.

How long after stopping Rigevidon will it take to get pregnant?

Rigevidon does not have any long-term impact on fertility. Fertility typically returns quickly after discontinuing Rigevidon. However, this timeline can vary depending on individual factors, such as age and overall health. Consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice on planning for pregnancy after stopping Rigevidon.

Do antibiotics interact with Rigevidon?

Some antibiotics may interact with Rigevidon, potentially reducing its effectiveness. The NHS advises that "only certain antibiotics, such as rifampicin and rifabutin, are known to affect the pill." If you are prescribed antibiotics while taking Rigevidon, consult your healthcare professional to determine if additional contraceptive precautions are necessary.

Does Rigevidon increase your risk of blood clots?

Rigevidon, like other combined oral contraceptives, may slightly increase the risk of blood clots. The risk of blood clots is higher in women taking combined oral contraceptives compared to those not using hormonal contraception, according to a study published in the BMJ. However, the overall risk remains low, and a healthcare professional will assess your individual risk factors before prescribing Rigevidon.

Is it normal to bleed on Rigevidon?

Breakthrough bleeding or spotting is a common side effect of Rigevidon, especially during the first few months of use. "Breakthrough bleeding may occur when taking Rigevidon without a break or during the initial months of use," explains Dr Sarah Jarvis. If the bleeding persists or becomes heavy, consult a healthcare professional.

Can Rigevidon cause acne?

Rigevidon can affect acne in different ways, improving it for some users and exacerbating it for others. According to the British Association of Dermatologists, combined oral contraceptives can help manage acne in some cases, but individual responses may vary. Consult a healthcare professional for personalised advice on managing acne while using Rigevidon.

Can Rigevidon cause depression?

There are no conclusive studies stating that Rigevidon causes depression. But mood swings/changes from taking the combined contraceptive pill are possible. It is essential to monitor your mental health while taking any hormonal contraceptive and consult a healthcare professional if you experience persistent mood changes or depression.

Can Rigevidon cause anxiety?

Rigevidon may cause mood swings/changes, but no conclusive evidence exists that this combined contraceptive pill causes anxiety. However, it can cause mood changes. If you find that Rigevidon is causing anxiety or other mood-related side effects, consult your healthcare professional to discuss alternative contraceptive options. This side effect has also been reported for other combined pills.

Can Rigevidon cause infertility?

Rigevidon does not cause long-term infertility. Fertility typically returns soon after discontinuing the pill.

Can Rigevidon make me bleed between periods?

Rigevidon can cause breakthrough bleeding or spotting, particularly during the first few months of use. This bleeding is typically light and irregular. If bleeding persists or becomes heavy, consult your healthcare professional for guidance.

I didn’t get my period while taking Rigevidon. Am I pregnant?

While Rigevidon is over 99% effective when used correctly, no contraceptive method is 100% foolproof.

Can the combined pill increase the risk of cervical cancer?

There is a potential link between taking the combined pill and a slightly elevated risk of cervical cancer when compared to individuals who do not use it. This increased risk may be more pronounced the longer the combined pill is taken. However, ten years after ceasing the pill, the risk returns to normal levels, as if the pill had never been used.

Can I switch to a different pill when taking Rigevidon?

If you experience side effects or find that Rigevidon is not suitable for you, it is possible to switch to a different contraceptive pill. Consult with your GP before making this decision.

Is Rigevidon a good contraceptive pill?

Rigevidon is an effective contraceptive pill when used correctly. It has a typical use effectiveness rate of over 99% as it is one of the combined contraceptive pills, which means fewer than one in 100 women using it correctly will become pregnant in a year. However, individual experiences and suitability may vary, so it is essential to consult a healthcare professional to determine if Rigevidon is the right choice for you.

How quickly does Rigevidon work?

When starting Rigevidon on the first day of your menstrual cycle (the first day of your period), you are protected from pregnancy immediately. If you start taking Rigevidon later in your cycle, you may need to use additional contraception, such as condoms, for the first seven days of pill use. Consult your healthcare professional for guidance on when Rigevidon will be effective for you.

What are the rules for Rigevidon?

The primary rules for using Rigevidon include taking one pill daily for 21 days, followed by a seven-day pill-free interval during which a withdrawal bleed occurs. Start a new pack after the seven-day break. It is essential to take the pill at the same time each day and follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional. If you miss a pill or experience vomiting or diarrhoea, consult the patient information leaflet or your healthcare professional for guidance on maintaining contraceptive protection.

Is Rigevidon a mini pill?

Rigevidon is not a mini pill. Rigevidon is one of the combined contraceptive pills, containing two hormones: ethinylestradiol (an oestrogen) and levonorgestrel (a progestogen). The mini pill, also known as the progestogen-only pill, contains only progestogen and is a different type of oral contraceptive.

Are you protected on the 7-day break?

During the seven-day pill-free interval, you are still protected from pregnancy, provided you have taken the previous 21 pills correctly and start the next pack on time. If you delay starting the next pack or have missed pills in the previous pack, your contraceptive protection may be compromised. Consult your healthcare professional for guidance on maintaining contraceptive protection during the pill-free interval.

Trimethoprim is commonly prescribed to treat urinary tract infections, a prevalent health issue affecting the urinary system. This medication is effective against a range of bacterial infections, notably those affecting the urinary and respiratory tracts. Trimethoprim works by targeting and inhibiting a substance called folic acid, which is crucial for the growth and reproduction of bacteria. By disrupting the production of folic acid, Trimethoprim hinders the development of bacteria, thereby helping to clear infections.

While it's primarily known for its effectiveness in treating urinary tract infections, it's also used for certain types of respiratory tract infections. However, like any medication, the safety of Trimethoprim for an individual depends on various factors including their overall health, other medications they may be taking, and their specific medical history. It's important to consult a healthcare professional to determine if Trimethoprim is a safe and appropriate treatment option.

Additional Information on Trimethoprim 200mg

Trimethoprim 200mg, the usual dose, is a potent antibiotic primarily used to treat bacterial infections, particularly those related to urinary infections such as cystitis. This medication operates by inhibiting the bacterial production of a vital substance, folic acid, thereby preventing the growth and spread of the infection.

While it is highly effective in managing urinary tract infections, it's essential to be aware of certain precautions. Individuals with severe liver problems, or blood disorders, should consult their healthcare provider before using Trimethoprim, as it may not be the safest option for them. Additionally, it's a common misconception that cranberry juice can treat urine infections; however, while it may help alleviate cystitis symptoms by preventing bacteria from adhering to the bladder walls, it should not replace medical treatment with antibiotics like Trimethoprim.

As with any antibiotic, it's crucial to complete the full course as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to effectively treat bacterial infections and prevent antibiotic resistance.

They thicken the mucus in your cervix, which makes it difficult for sperm to enter the womb. They also thin the lining of your womb, making it less likely that a fertilised egg can implant itself. In some cases, the Rigevidon pill can also prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from your ovaries).
