Oral contraceptive pills are the most popular hormonal contraception method for preventing unplanned pregnancy. These pills come in two types: combination pills and mini pills. They differ in the amount of artificial female hormones that they contain. Femodene is one of the most popularly used combination pills, which contains ethinylestradiol (artificial oestrogen) and gestodene (artificial progestogen) as its active ingredients. This pill has been proven to be almost 100% effective in protecting women against unplanned pregnancy. You are required to take this pill on a daily basis.
Femodene is to be taken for 21 days out of 28 with a break of 7 days in between. TriNovum is another combination pill, which is a triphasic pill. This means that the oestrogen dosages in all of the pills remain constant, while the dosage of progestogen is different. This pill has been proven to be almost 100% effective in protecting women from pregnancy. You are required to take this pill for 21 days out of 28 with a break of 7 days in between.
During these 7 days, you are likely to have your period. This can be withdrawal bleeding. Another popular and commonly used combination pill is Cilest. This pill contains ethinylestradiol (artificial oestrogen) and norgestimate (artificial progestogen) as its active ingredients. This pill has been proven to be almost 100% effective in preventing women from getting pregnant. You are required to take this pill for 21 days out of 28 with a break of 7 days in between.
