This medicine is an effective contraception method used to prevent pregnancy when taken once a day.
Gedarel is a combined contraceptive pill, containing two female sex hormones to prevent pregnancy. It contains an oestrogen (ethinylestradiol) and a progestogen (desogestrel).
What is Gedarel?
Gedarel is an oral contraceptive. When used correctly, it will provide near 100% protection against pregnancy. Its two active ingredients, Gedarel and ethinylestradiol, prevent ovulation from occurring during the menstrual cycle. Gedarel is a monophasic combined pill, meaning each pill contains the same dose of Gedarel and ethinylestradiol. Gedarel contains a lower dose compared to most other versions of the Pill, so it may be appropriate for you if you are particularly susceptible to side effects.
Take one pill at a similar time each day. Once you have finished a pack, you will stop taking the pill for seven days. During this time you will have a normal bleed. Once seven days have passed, begin your next cycle of treatment.
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, even if it is nearly time for your next pill. If you have missed one day, you should still be protected from pregnancy.
If you miss multiple days, you are advised to use additional contraception for the following seven days.
Not everyone will experience side effects when they take Gedarel, however if you do they may include:
Mood swings, irregular or painful periods, breast pain or tenderness, headache, anxiety, nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, acne and weight gain.
