Description

Femodene is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing two hormones — gestodene (a progestogen) and ethinylestradiol (an oestrogen). It prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, and thinning the womb lining to reduce implantation.
Each pack contains 21 active tablets. When taken correctly, Femodene is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

Directions for Use
  • Take one tablet daily at the same time each day.
  • Take 21 tablets, followed by a 7-day pill-free break (no tablets).
  • Start the next pack after 7 days, even if bleeding continues.
  • Withdrawal bleeding usually occurs during the 7-day break.

Starting Femodene:

  • Start on Day 1 of your period for immediate protection.
  • If starting on Days 2–5, use extra contraception for 7 days.

If you miss a tablet:

  • Less than 12 hours late: take it as soon as remembered and continue as normal.
  • More than 12 hours late: take the last missed tablet immediately, continue as normal, and use extra contraception for 7 days.
  • Missing multiple tablets increases pregnancy risk — seek medical advice.

If vomiting or severe diarrhoea occurs within 3–4 hours of taking a tablet, take another tablet as soon as possible and use extra contraception for 7 days.

After childbirth:

  • If not breastfeeding: start 21 days after delivery.
  • If breastfeeding: seek medical advice before use.
