Gedarel tablets 150mcg/20mg and 150mcg/30mg
Gedarel is a combined oral contraceptive pill (COC) used to prevent pregnancy. It contains two hormones, ethinylestradiol (an oestrogen) and desogestrel (a progestogen), which work together to provide reliable contraception.
Gedarel prevents pregnancy in three ways: by stopping ovulation (the release of an egg), thickening cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach the egg, and thinning the lining of the uterus to reduce the likelihood of implantation.
When taken correctly, Gedarel is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. It may also offer additional benefits such as more regular periods, lighter bleeding, and reduced menstrual discomfort.
