Femodette

You should take one Femodette tablet daily for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break before starting the next pack. Remember to take the pill at the same time each day to maintain its effectiveness. If you miss a dose, follow the instructions provided in the package leaflet. In case of vomiting or severe diarrhoea within 3-4 hours of taking the pill, the contraceptive effect may be reduced, and you should take another tablet.

Each Femodette tablet contains 30 micrograms of ethinylestradiol and 75 micrograms of gestodene as the active ingredients. The excipients include lactose monohydrate, maize starch, povidone, magnesium stearate, talc, sucrose, macrogol 6000, calcium carbonate, glycerol, titanium dioxide (E171), red iron oxide (E172), and montan glycol wax.

Common side effects of Femodette may include nausea, breast tenderness, and changes in weight. Serious side effects requiring immediate medical attention can include chest pain, severe headaches, or signs of a blood clot such as swelling or redness in the leg.
