Femilon (0.02+0.15)Mg

Femilon (0.02+0.15)mg is a combination hormonal contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. It contains two active ingredients - ethinyl estradiol (0.02mg) and desogestrel (0.15mg). These hormones work together to prevent ovulation, thicken cervical mucus to prevent sperm from reaching the egg, and alter the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg.

Femilon (0.02+0.15)mg is taken orally, once a day, at the same time each day, for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day pill-free interval. During the pill-free interval, a withdrawal bleed similar to a period occurs. It is important to start taking Femilon (0.02+0.15)mg on the first day of menstrual bleeding, or on the first Sunday after the onset of menstrual bleeding.

Aside from preventing pregnancy, Femilon (0.02+0.15)mg has other benefits. It can regulate menstrual cycles, reduce menstrual cramps, and decrease the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer. Additionally, it can improve acne and hirsutism (excessive hair growth) in some individuals.

Femilon (0.02+0.15)mg is generally safe for most women, but it is not recommended for everyone. Women who are over 35 years old and smoke, have a history of blood clots, stroke, heart disease, liver disease, or breast cancer, are advised not to take Femilon (0.02+0.15)mg. Additionally, it may not be suitable for women with certain medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and migraines.

As with all medications, Femilon (0.02+0.15)mg may cause side effects in some women. The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headaches, and breast tenderness. These side effects are usually mild and go away after a few days. Other less common side effects may include changes in libido, mood changes, weight gain, and irregular bleeding.

If a woman misses a dose of Femilon (0.02+0.15)mg, she should take the missed pill as soon as possible and continue taking the remaining pills at the usual time. If a woman misses more than one pill, she should follow the instructions provided by her healthcare provider, as this may involve using a backup method of contraception.

In conclusion, Femilon (0.02+0.15)mg is an effective and convenient hormonal contraceptive pill that is taken once a day for 21 days followed by a 7-day pill-free interval. It contains two active ingredients - ethinyl estradiol (0.02mg) and desogestrel (0.15mg) - that work together to prevent pregnancy.
