Product Introduction

Femovan Tablet contains the active ingredients Gestodene and Ethinyl Estradiol. It prevents pregnancy and regulates the menstrual cycle. The combination of the synthetic progestin Gestodene and the estrogen Ethinyl Estradiol works as an oral contraceptive by inhibiting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and reducing the likelihood of sperm reaching the egg. The tablet is also indicated for managing hormonal conditions including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and dysmenorrhea. Femovan Tablet addresses hormonal acne by lowering androgen levels that contribute to breakouts. When used as prescribed, Femovan Tablet provides contraception whilst managing various gynaecological conditions and improving quality of life for patients using it.

Uses

Femovan Tablet is primarily used for pregnancy prevention and the management of various gynaecological conditions. It is effective for: Pregnancy prevention as an oral contraceptive Regulation of menstrual cycles Management of hormonal acne, especially acne related to hormonal imbalances Treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Alleviation of symptoms of endometriosis Reduction of heavy or painful periods (dysmenorrhea)

How it works

Femovan Tablet prevents pregnancy and regulates menstrual cycles through multiple mechanisms. Ethinyl Estradiol stabilises the endometrial lining, controls the menstrual cycle, and inhibits gonadotropin release to prevent ovulation. Gestodene thickens cervical mucus and alters the uterine lining, making it less receptive to implantation. Together, these actions effectively prevent fertilisation and implantation, providing reliable contraception and promoting hormonal balance.

How to Use

Take Femovan Tablet orally as one tablet daily for 21 consecutive days, at the same time each day. After completing the 21-day course, take a 7-day break, during which withdrawal bleeding typically occurs. Start a new pack after the 7-day break. The tablet can be taken with or without food, but consistency is key. If a dose is missed, take it within 12 hours of the regular dose. If more than 12 hours have passed, always follow the product instructions or consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
