Femilon Tablets are a prescription oral contraceptive used for preventing pregnancy. It contains a combination of two synthetic hormones: ethinyloestradiol (an estrogen) and desogestrel (a progestin). These hormones work by inhibiting ovulation, altering cervical mucus, and affecting the uterine lining, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg. Femilon should only be used under medical supervision after a consultation with a healthcare provider to ensure its appropriateness for individual health conditions.

What is Femilon Tablet?

Femilon is a combination oral contraceptive containing two key hormones: Ethinyloestradiol (a synthetic form of estrogen) and Desogestrel (a progestin). These hormones work together to prevent ovulation, alter cervical mucus, and modify the uterine lining, making it difficult for sperm to reach and fertilize an egg. Femilon is used to prevent pregnancy and is effective when taken daily as prescribed.

If you’re considering other contraceptive options, you may also explore Dronis 20 Oral Contraceptive, which contains a similar hormonal formulation and provides a reliable method of birth control.

How Femilon Tablet Works

Ethinyloestradiol Component:
Ethinyloestradiol inhibits the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH), which is responsible for triggering ovulation. By preventing ovulation, it reduces the chances of pregnancy.

Desogestrel Component:
Desogestrel thickens the cervical mucus and alters the endometrium, creating a less favorable environment for sperm. It also contributes to the prevention of ovulation.

Together, these components provide a dual-action contraceptive mechanism that is highly effective when used correctly.
