Description

Femilon is a low-dose combined oral contraceptive pill containing desogestrel (0.02mg) and ethinyl estradiol (0.02mg) that prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and thinning the uterine lining. As one of the lowest-dose birth control pills available, it's often recommended for women who experience side effects with higher-dose pills, and it may also help regulate periods, reduce menstrual cramps, and improve acne.

How to use it

  • Take one tablet daily at approximately the same time
  • Follow the arrows on the pack to maintain correct sequence
  • Complete all 21 active tablets in each pack
  • Take a 7-day break after finishing active tablets
  • Begin the next pack after the 7-day break, even if bleeding continues
  • If you miss a pill, take it as soon as you remember within 12 hours

When should I take it

  • Choose a consistent time that you can remember daily
  • Set a reminder alarm to maintain consistency
  • If starting for the first time, begin on the first day of your period
  • If switching from another pill, follow your doctor's guidance

More Information

How does Femilon compare to other birth control pills?

Femilon contains one of the lowest doses of hormones available in combined oral contraceptives. The 0.02mg of ethinyl estradiol is among the lowest estrogen doses in any pill, making it suitable for women who are sensitive to hormone side effects while still providing reliable contraception.

Will Femilon make me gain weight?

Significant weight gain is uncommon with modern low-dose pills like Femilon. Clinical studies show that weight changes with today's low-dose contraceptives are typically minimal and similar to those experienced by women not taking hormonal contraception.

How quickly will Femilon start working?

If you start Femilon on the first day of your period, it's effective immediately. If you start on any other day, you should use additional contraception (like condoms) for the first 7 days to ensure protection while the hormones reach effective levels.

Can I skip periods while using Femilon?

While Femilon is designed with a 7-day break between packs, some doctors may recommend continuous use (skipping the break) to manage certain conditions like endometriosis or severe period pain. Always consult your healthcare provider before changing how you take Femilon.
