Description

Rigevidon Tablets are a combined oral contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy. The tablets contain two synthetic hormones: ethinylestradiol (oestrogen) and levonorgestrel (progestogen), which work together to mimic the body’s natural cycle and prevent ovulation. Rigevidon is a widely prescribed contraceptive pill in the UK and is suitable for women who want reliable, reversible protection with added menstrual benefits.

How It Works

Rigevidon prevents pregnancy by acting on multiple levels of the reproductive system. It stops ovulation (the release of an egg), thickens cervical mucus to block sperm from reaching the uterus, and alters the uterine lining to prevent implantation. When taken consistently at the same time each day, Rigevidon is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. Each pack contains 21 active pills followed by a 7-day break during which a withdrawal bleed occurs.

Why Choose Rigevidon Tablets

Rigevidon Tablets for contraception offer trusted protection backed by years of clinical use. They are equivalent in formula to Microgynon and are often prescribed as a more accessible or cost-effective option. In addition to preventing pregnancy, Rigevidon may help regulate periods, reduce menstrual cramps, lighten flow, and improve hormonal acne. The daily routine is simple and easy to integrate into your lifestyle. For those seeking consistent, effective hormonal contraception, Rigevidon is a proven and convenient choice.

Important Note

Rigevidon should only be used under medical supervision. It may not be suitable for women with a history of blood clots, migraines with aura, hormone-sensitive cancers, or liver disease. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you miss a pill or experience unusual side effects, follow the instructions in the patient leaflet or consult a healthcare provider promptly. Store below 25°C, away from sunlight and moisture, and out of reach of children.
