Rigevidon is a combined oral contraceptive pill used primarily for the prevention of pregnancy. Statistics show that when taken correctly, the combined pill is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy, making it one of the most reliable and popular methods of birth control for women in the UK.

The active ingredients in Rigevidon are ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic version of the hormone oestrogen, while levonorgestrel mimics the hormone progesterone, working together to provide reliable hormonal contraception.

User experiences with Rigevidon are generally positive, with many women reporting lighter, more regular and less painful periods. Some individuals may experience mild, temporary changes as their body adjusts to the hormones, which is common when starting any new combined oral contraceptive.

The Patient Information Leaflet for Rigevidon is included inside every product box and should be read thoroughly before starting your treatment. You can also access a digital version of this safety leaflet during your online checkout process or directly on the electronic medicines compendium website.

Rigevidon works by preventing the release of an egg from your ovaries, thickening the fluid in the cervix to stop sperm from entering and thinning the womb lining. This triple mechanism of action ensures maximum protection against pregnancy when the pill is taken consistently at the same time each day.

You use Rigevidon by swallowing one tablet daily at the same time for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day pill-free interval. During this 7-day break, you will usually experience a withdrawal bleed that mimics a regular period, after which you must start the next pack on time.

The standard dosage for Rigevidon is one tablet daily containing 150 micrograms of levonorgestrel and 30 micrograms of ethinylestradiol. It is vital to take the tablet in the correct order shown on the blister strip to track your days accurately and maintain contraceptive cover.

The potential side effects of Rigevidon can include temporary nausea, headaches, breast tenderness and mood fluctuations. While most side effects are mild and resolve within the first few months, serious side effects such as blood clots are rare but require immediate medical attention.

Rigevidon warnings and precautions include avoiding this medication if you have a history of blood clots, severe liver disease, high blood pressure or certain types of migraines. You must disclose your full medical history during your online consultation to ensure this combined pill is safe for you to use.

Rigevidon compares similarly in efficacy to other first-line combined pills like Microgynon 30 and Ovranette, as they share the exact same active ingredients and strengths. Your choice between these brands often comes down to personal preference, cost and availability at the time of your prescription.

Can I get a Rigevidon NHS prescription filled here?

Yes, you can upload your valid electronic or paper NHS prescription to the Mail My Meds platform, and our UK pharmacy team will dispense and deliver your medication directly to your home.

What should I do if I miss a Rigevidon pill?

If you miss a pill, take it as soon as you remember, even if it means taking two tablets in one day, and consult the Patient Information Leaflet to see if additional barrier contraception is required.

Does Rigevidon protect against sexually transmitted infections?

No, Rigevidon only protects against pregnancy and does not offer any protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), meaning you should still use condoms for safer sex practices.
