Learn More About Femodene and Cilest Combination Pills

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.

Learn More About Progestogen-Only Pill

There are many types of birth control pills that are available on the market. The progestogen-only pill (POP) is a safe pill to use. Let us have a look at some different types of POP pills so that you can choose from them. Always consult a doctor before choosing a pill.

Cerazette  

This hormonal contraceptive is also known as the mini pill or the progestogen-only pill (POP). The active ingredient of this pill is desogesterl and this is a synthetic progestogen, which is similar to natural progestogens that are produced by the body. Cerazette works by preventing the release of an egg from the ovary and this prevents ovulation. It also thickens the cervical mucus so that the sperm cannot reach the womb.

Femulen

This is also a progestogen-only pill (POP) but this medication contains etynodiol, which is synthetic progestogen and it is quite similar to natural progestogens that are produced by the body. This pill works by affecting the cervical mucus and increasing its thickness and this makes it more difficult for sperm to reach the uterus. Femulen can prevent the release of an egg from the ovaries, but this does not occur in all women who take this mini-pill.

Noriday 

These tablets should be taken regularly at the same time every day. You should start using this pill on the first day of your period and continue taking it until the pack is over. This pill is very different from the combined pill. Noriday should be taken at the same time every day and if you are more than three hours late in taking it, you will no longer be prevented against pregnancy.

Contraceptive Patch – Birth Control Option That You Need To Know

Women, till now, were aware probably of only one contraceptive method that can help them prevent unplanned pregnancy. However, another of the hormonal contraceptive methods that has been found to be equally effective is the contraceptive patch. This contraception, similar to the pills, consists of artificial female hormones with the help of which it works towards prevention of unplanned pregnancy. This birth control also performs three major functions in order to prevent women from getting pregnant. The Evra patch is the most commonly used contraceptive patch.

The Evra patch is required to be used for three weeks in a month, with the fourth week without applying the patch. It has been found to be almost 100% effective in providing you with contraceptive guard. Similar to combined contraceptive pills, this contraceptive patch also consists of two artificial female hormones. The Evra patch is applied on your skin, through which the hormones are absorbed into your skin. The synthetic oestrogen and progestogen present in the patch are ethinylestradiol and norelgestromin respectively.

Just like the contraceptive pills, this birth control affects your natural womb environment, which helps in preventing ovulation from occurring. Secondly, it thickens the cervical mucus, which prevents the sperm from entering and fertilising an egg. Lastly, this contraceptive patch prevents the womb lining from thickening so as to prevent the attaching of an egg and its growth. Women, who are between the ages of 18 to 45, can buy this contraceptive. The patch, which is most effective if worn on the first days of your period, should be changed after every seven days.
