Rigevidon Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill (63 tablets) contain 3 months per pack. Each tablet has 150 micrograms of levonorgestrel and 30 micrograms of ethinylestradiol.
Rigevidon, often known as "the Pill," is a combination oral contraceptive.
It is taken to prevent pregnancy. It includes two forms of female hormones: ethinylestradiol, an oestrogen, and a Low dosage of the progestogen levonorgestrel.
You are protected against pregnancy in three different ways by the combined contraceptive pill. These hormones:
- prevent each month's egg release from the ovary (ovulation)
- make it more challenging for the sperm to reach the egg by thickening the fluid in your cervix (at the neck of the womb)
- change the lining of the womb to reduce the likelihood that it will receive a fertilised egg

How to use Rigevidon Contraceptive Pill 63 tablets
The daily dosage is one coated tablet.
You should try to take your pill at about the same time each day. You may find it easiest to take it either last thing at night or first thing in the morning.
Swallow each pill whole, with water if necessary.
Each pack of Rigevidon contains 1 memo strip of 21 coated tablets or 3 memo strips of 21 coated tablets. The memo strip has been designed to help you remember to take your pills.
The pack is marked with the day of the week on which each pill should be taken. Following the direction of the arrow printed on the pack you should take one pill each day for 21 days until the strip is empty.
Then you have 7 days when you do not take a pill. During the 7 pill-free days, on day 2 or 3, you will have menstruation-like withdrawal bleeding, i.e. your monthly period.
Start your next strip on the 8th day (following the 7 pill-free days) – even if the bleeding has not yet ended. As long as you take Rigevidon correctly, you will always start each new strip on the same day of the week, and you will always have your monthly period on the same day of the month.
