Rigevidon

Rigevidon Product Information

Rigevidon is a combined contraceptive pill made up of synthetic oestrogen (ethinylestradiol 30 mcg) and progesterone (levonorgestrel 150 mcg) that is 99% effective in preventing unplanned pregnancies.

Rigevidon stops ovulation, thickens cervical mucus to make it more difficult for sperm to reach and fertilise an egg, and helps thin the uterine lining to prevent a fertilised egg from implanting. Rigevidon pills should be taken for 21 consecutive days followed by a 7-day break.
