Frequently asked questions

Can I get pregnant on Femodene?

When taken correctly Femodene is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. Missing pills or taking the pill incorrectly are reasons why some women can get pregnant while taking the pill. To help prevent pregnancy, you should take it exactly how your doctor has told you to, if you are unsure read the patient information leaflet for more guidance.

Does Femodette cause weight gain?

There is no evidence that any type of contraceptive pill, including Femodette, will cause weight gain. If you do gain some weight when you first start the pill, it is unlikely to be directly related to your contraception. Instead, it may be because your body will retain more water than you’re used to during certain times of your menstrual cycle. The side effects should be temporary but if you are worried, speak to your doctor or nurse for advice.

What’s the difference between Femodene and Femodene ED?

Femodene and Femodene ED contain the same active hormones but are available in different pack sizes.

  • Femodene is supplied in a 21-day pack. You’ll need to take one pill every day for 21 days, followed by a 7-day pill-free break.
  • Femodene ED comes in a 28-day pack and contains 21 small inactive Femodene tablets and 7 large inactive pills. You take 1 active pill every day for 21 days and then 1 inactive pill every day for 7 days and then start a new active pill strip.

Can Femodene cause acne?

Acne is not listed as a side effect of Femodene. On The Lowdown there are reviews that state Femodene helped to clear the reviewer's acne. Some research shows that the contraceptive pill may improve skin appearance and acne symptoms, but this is different for each woman.

Can I buy Femodene over the counter?

No, Femodene is a prescription-only medicine, so you will need a prescription from a doctor before you can get it. If you are looking for a pill without a prescription, you could try Hana.

Can I switch from a combined pill to a mini pill?

Yes, you can switch from any combined pill to any mini pill. For example, Femodene is a combined oral contraceptive pill and Cerelle is a mini pill (progesterone-only pill). If you want to switch from Femodene to Cerelle, you should start taking Cerelle on the day after you take your last Femodene tablet from the present pill pack. If you switch in this way, you will be immediately protected against pregnancy.
