Femodene ED is 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy when taken correctly. If it is not always taken correctly, approximately 9 out of every 100 women will become pregnant.
You may not be protected against pregnancy if you are vomiting or have severe diarrhoea. If this occurs, continue taking the pill as usual, but use a condom while you’re sick. If this continues for more than 24 hours, you should take the same steps as if the pill was missed.
Please keep in mind that you should only begin Femodene ED if you are certain you are not pregnant.
If you begin using Femodene ED on days 1-5 of your period, you should be protected from pregnancy right away, as long as you do not have a short or irregular menstrual cycle.
If you begin after day 1 and have a short or irregular menstrual cycle, you must use condoms for 7 days if you have sex. If you have sex, your clinician will be able to advise you on whether you need to use additional contraception during the first 7 days.
This is determined by when and how many pills are skipped. Missing just one pill at any time does not jeopardize contraception. Missing two or more pills or starting a new pack too late may have an impact on your contraceptive coverage.
Take your next pill as soon as you remember and continue with the rest of the pack as usual if it has been up to 48 hours since your last pill. This may imply that you must take two pills on the same day.
More than 48 hours – the length of time depends on when you last took your pill and where you are in your pill packet. For more information, please see the patient information leaflet.
Femodene ED’s hormones (ethinylestradiol and gestodene) prevent your ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation). They also make it difficult for sperm to reach an egg or for an egg to implant in the womb lining.
Hormones are not present in the inactive pills. They are placebo pills that allow you to continue your daily pill-taking routine.
A Femodene ED prescription can be requested and paid for online. Because this is a prescription-only medication, you will need a prescription from a clinician before you can purchase the treatment, even if you use an online service.
To safely prescribe combined contraceptive pills, we will need to know your height, weight, and blood pressure. This can be completed during the consultation.
If you’ve already purchased your pill from us, you can request a 3, 6, or 12-month supply from your Patient Record if you’re medically qualified. If you want to change your pill, please contact us through your Patient Record.
Combined contraceptives can cause an increase in blood pressure, which can be dangerous. Before beginning any combined contraceptive, your blood pressure should be checked, and then once a year after that. If you’ve recently had your blood pressure checked, or if you’ve checked it yourself using a home blood pressure monitor, you can provide us with this information as part of your consultation.
You should be able to take Femodene ED in conjunction with other medications. However, it is critical that you tell us about any prescription, over-the-counter, or recreational drugs you are taking so that we can safely prescribe Femodene ED.
We have a variety of contraceptives available, such as NuvaRing, Evra Patch, combined pills, low-dose pills, and mini pills. View all of our contraception choices.
Condoms are a reliable method of contraception that also protects against STIs.
Long-acting contraceptives, such as implants, the coil, and injectable contraception, are also available from your GP or family planning clinic.
