What Is Femilon Birth Control Pill?

Oral contraceptive pills have been around for quite some time now. However, the formulation of these has changed quite a bit since earlier days. Synthetic estrogens have become more tolerable and Progestins contained therein have also improved in generations. Femilon birth control pill is a shining example of such advancement.
Femilon boasts not only of Desogestrel - a third generation progestin, but it also has a very low dose of Ethinyl Estradiol. These attributes make Femilon contraceptive tablet a very safe, tolerable and versatile hormonal pill that has class leading efficacy in contraception and provides numerous advantages in myriad disorders of women’s health care.
We also have in stock Ovral L Tablets which is another combination pill used for the same indications.

Clinical Mechanism and Contraceptive Action of Femilon – How does Femilon work?

Exogenously administered agents in the form of a pill containing estrogen/progestin, floods the blood stream to acts upon the female genital tract and more importantly the brain to interrupt the normal hormonal feedback loop that exists between brain and gonads.
FSH & LH are two very important hormones produced in the pituitary gland of the brain but have actions on the ovary. Normally they are responsible for stimulating ovarian egg formation and consequent natural estrogen/progestin production. These in turn act on the womb lining or endometrium to prepare it to receive a fertile egg or to ultimately shed off as menses in the absence of any pregnancy.
Femilon contraceptive pill unleashes Ethinyl Estradiol and Desogestrel into the blood stream. They in turn inhibit LH/FSH levels and also the associated normal follicle stimulation process with its resultant egg release.
Further changes in the genital tract include an artificial ripening and swelling of the endometrium (womb lining). This sheds easily and predictably within a few days from discontinuing Femilon. Thus an artificial menstrual state is created, which is lighter and associated with less cramps. Such a contraceptive pill induced bleed is termed as "withdrawal bleeding" and is common to all hormonal pills upon their withdrawal.
Desogestrel in addition has the ability to thicken up the naturally present cervical mucus plug. This blocks sperm transport through the gateway of the uterus or cervix.
Anti androgenic action is also present in Desogestrel. It is known to have weak anti testosterone like effects that minimizes virilization or male type side effects such as seborrhea and hirsutism.

Femilon Tablet Usage – Dosing and Administration

Femilon tablet should be taken daily. One pill a day for 21 days completes the pack. The pill must be taken at approximately the same time every day. Consistency is the key. In women who are starting Femilon for the first time, it is recommended to start from the first day of menses.
Women who are shifting to Femilon from another contraceptive should start the day after the last pill is completed, be it an active pill or a placebo. Femilon contraceptive pill consumed with meals rich in fat content, grapefruit or grapefruit juice would help its contraceptive efficacy from enhanced absorption and transport.
Femilon can be started after abortions and miscarriages. One can switch to Femilon from vaginal rings, progestin containing implants/depots/ intrauterine devices. However, the method of commencement and need for additional protection varies in each case and medical consultation is advised before changing over.

Femilon Missed Pill Instructions – What to do in case of missed pills

The reason for consistency with daily pill intake and that too at about the same time each day is to ensure contraceptive efficacy. Drug hormonal levels are consistently sustained above a given recommended threshold to ensure effective contraception provided the pills are diligently taken. Being human, missing one or more pills is common.
Missed one pill?
When one pill is missed, remember to take it as soon as possible, preferably within 12 hours, this might mean having to take two pills at the same time the next day.
Missed two pills anytime in the first two weeks?
When two pills are missed in the first two weeks, two pills must be taken for each of two consecutive days from the day of remembering the episode. Additional contraceptive protection in the form of condoms or diaphragm must be implemented for coital acts for up to 7 days from the date of remembering the event.
Missed two pills anytime in the third week or missed three or more pills?
Missing two pills in the third week or missing three/more pills from the pack entails stopping the current pack and starting a fresh new pack of Femilon. Barrier contraception must be used for seven days.
Vomiting for up to 4 hours from the time of pill intake is to be considered as a missed pill. Attention must be given to the withdrawal bleed in cycles where pills are missed and regardless of whether it occurs or not, medical attention must be sought to confirm or rule out any inadvertent pregnancy.
