MEDICAL INFORMATION

Femodene ED Key Facts

Microgynon 30 ED, Levest, Rigevidon, Cerazette

About Femodene ED

Femodene ED is a combined contraceptive pill used to provide protection against pregnancy. It contains gestodene, a progesterone and ethinylestradiol, an oestrogen as its active ingredients.

Femodene ED works by stopping the release of an egg each month from the ovaries, preventing ovulation during the menstrual cycle. It also makes cervical mucus thicker, making it more difficult for sperm to pass through the cervix, and makes the lining of the womb thinner, so fertilised eggs are less likely to implant in the uterus wall.

NowPatient offers the Femodene ED birth control pills for the prevention of pregnancy only, following an online consultation with a prescribing clinician.

Key facts of Femodene ED

  • For the prevention of pregnancy
  • There is no evidence that the Femodene ED pill causes weight gain
  • Femodene ED has some common side effects which include headache and migraine
  • It can be dangerous if you take Femodene ED with certain medications. If you’re not sure if it is safe, discuss this with the prescribing clinician
  • Femodene ED will not prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

Who is Femodene ED not suitable for?

Femodene ED may not be suitable for some people. To make sure it’s safe for you, speak to the prescribing clinician before taking Femodene ED if you:

  • Are allergic to the active ingredients gestodene or ethinylestradiol, or inactive ingredients such as lactose
  • Have ever had a blood clot in the leg or lungs
  • Have a family history of heart attacks or stroke
  • Have ever had angina or transient ischaemic attack
  • Suffer from migraines with aura
  • Have a liver disease or any other liver problems
  • Have kidney failure
  • Have ever had breast cancer or cancer of the cervix, vagina or uterus

How and where to get Femodene ED?

You can buy Femodene ED safely and securely from NowPatient. You can start a consultation today for free and if you qualify for treatment, you only pay for the cost of the medication. Delivery is made to your home or office from our registered pharmacy.

Our service is certified, safe and effective, and we only ever treat conditions. If you book a consultation with one of our prescribers for a contraceptive, you can discuss if Femodene ED is a suitable treatment option for you.

At the end of the consultation, the clinician will decide if a treatment plan is suitable for you. If it is, the clinician will issue you with a prescription which can then be ordered, paid for and delivered directly to your chosen address by NowPatient.

Dosage and strength for Femodene ED for contraception

Femodene ED packs contain 21 active pills, each containing 30 micrograms of ethinylestradiol and 75 micrograms of gestodene, and 7 inactive pills containing a placebo.

Information about how to take Femodene ED for contraception

Take 1 Femodene ED tablet each day, at the same time. (If you were taking Femodene you would take a 7 day break after 21 days). With Femodene ED you will continue taking a tablet every day without the 7 day break. You should expect a withdrawal bleed during the days when you are taking the placebo tablets. Start a new pack of Femodene ED immediatley after finishing your current pack. Take your first tablet in order of the day of the week and follow the directions printed on the pack.

If you forget to take a Femodene ED tablet, take the missed pill as soon as you are able to do so. You will need to use extra precautions such as a condom for the next 7 days. Also, read the patient information leaflet or speak to your healthcare provider if you need further medical advice.

What happens if you take too much Femodene ED?

If you take more than prescribed, then it can lead to some unpleasant side effects. You should talk to your doctor or reach out to one of our prescribing clinicians, if you have taken too much Femodene ED and you experience any of the following side effects.

FAQs

Answers to Popular Questions About Femodene ED

What is Femodene ED?

Femodene ED is a monophasic combined oral contraceptive pill containing gestodene 75 micrograms and ethinylestradiol 30 micrograms. The ‘ED’ stands for ‘every day’ — the pack contains 21 active tablets and 7 inactive placebo tablets, so you take a pill every single day without a break. This continuous daily routine can help women who find it difficult to remember when to restart after a pill-free week.

How does Femodene ED differ from Femodene?

Femodene and Femodene ED contain exactly the same active hormones (gestodene 75 mcg and ethinylestradiol 30 mcg). The only difference is that Femodene ED includes 7 placebo tablets to fill the hormone-free interval, so you take a pill every day without needing to count pill-free days. Contraceptive effectiveness and side effects are identical.

How effective is Femodene ED?

When taken correctly, Femodene ED is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. Gestodene provides excellent cycle control with minimal breakthrough bleeding. As a third-generation progestogen, gestodene is associated with a slightly higher VTE risk than levonorgestrel (approximately 9–12 per 10,000 women per year vs 5–7), but the absolute risk remains very low.

How do I take Femodene ED?

Take one tablet daily at the same time every day, following the arrows on the blister pack. Take all 28 tablets in order: 21 active (small) tablets followed by 7 inactive (larger) placebo tablets. Do not take a break between packs — start a new pack immediately after finishing the last placebo tablet. A withdrawal bleed will usually occur during the placebo tablet days.

What if I miss a Femodene ED pill?

If you miss an active tablet: follow the standard missed pill rules — if less than 24 hours late, take it immediately with no extra precaution. If more than 24 hours late, take the missed pill, use condoms for 7 days, and skip the placebo tablets if fewer than 7 active pills remain. If you miss a placebo tablet: simply discard it and continue as normal — missing a placebo does not affect contraceptive protection.

What are the side effects of Femodene ED?

Common side effects include headaches, nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, and breakthrough bleeding. Gestodene has low androgenic activity, so it is less likely to cause acne or excess hair growth. Weight changes, reduced libido, and changes in vaginal discharge may also occur. Most side effects settle within the first 3 months.

How can I get Femodene ED?

Femodene ED is available on NHS prescription from your GP, sexual health clinic, or through online services like NowPatient. NowPatient offers convenient online consultations with qualified UK prescribers and home delivery.

  • NowPatient is worth your time!

    I do not leave reviews, due to time and a rare condition I have. I initially left a message, my call was returned within 2 hours or less. NowPatient offers 4 discount programs. I worked with Jay, he was genuine and wanted to help me all while giving me amazing customer service. Even though I didn't qualify, he gave me some suggestions and tips while encouraging me to follow up with the manufacturer along with other things I could do. This is the real deal, not a scam, and not a waste of your time. Amazing!! Thank you, Jay!

    Cannot speak highly enough of the service and assistance I have received from NowPatient. I was dealing with a very kind and helpful clinician who couldn't do enough to assist.
