Femulen
Femulen is a ‘mini-pill’, or progestogen-only pill, a form of daily hormonal contraception that supplements your system with progestogen to prevent you from falling pregnant. Femulen is 99% effective and less likely to cause side effects than combined contraceptive pills.
The artificial progestogen in Femulen tablets is known as ethynodiol diacetate (0.5 milligrams). This artificial hormone is very close to the naturally occurring progestogen in your body, but if supplemented in a small daily dose can alter your cycle so that you don’t fall pregnant.
Femulen mini-pills change the womb environment, by thickening the cervical mucous, which blocks sperm from reaching the womb. It prevents the womb lining from thickening so that an egg can’t embed itself. Mini-pills don’t always prevent ovulation, like the pill, but it can do so in some women.
euroClinix provides you with a safe and convenient way to buy genuine Femulen tablets online. You simply need to complete an online consultation as part of your order, which will be reviewed by our doctor to ensure that Femulen mini-pills are the right contraceptive for you. Once approved, a prescription will be issued and you medication dispensed from our pharmacy for overnight delivery.

What are the benefits of using Femulen pills?
The Femulen mini-pill can be taken if you are breastfeeding and is safer to use if you are over 35 and smoke. It’s also better to use if you have a history of heart problems or blood clotting and doesn’t tend to cause headaches like other oestrogen-based contraceptives.
How does it work?
The ethynodiol diacetate in this mini-pill overrides your body’s natural cycles so that it’s very unlikely that you’ll fall pregnant. These cyclical changes mean that the womb lining won’t thicken so an egg can’t attach itself. It also influences cervical fluid, making it too thick for sperm to pass through to the womb. Because Femulen pills don’t contain oestrogen, it doesn’t stop ovulation in all women using it, which is why the mini-pill is considered to be slightly less effective than combined contraceptive pills.
Who can take it?
The Femulen mini-pill is suitable to be used by most women over 18, who are not already pregnant.
Who can’t take it?
Because Femulen mini-pills influence the cycles in your body, it may not be safe to take if you have certain medical conditions. For example, if you have cancer of the breast, cervix, vagina or womb; liver problems; unexplained vaginal bleeding; amenorrhea; high levels of fat in your blood; a disease that affects your blood cells or if you are allergic to the main ingredient (ethynodiol diacetate).
Taking certain types of epilepsy, arthritis, tuberculosis or antibiotic medications with Femulen may reduce its effectiveness, so you should be sure to mention all medications you are taking in your online consultation.
How do you take it?
Femulen is a 28-day birth control pill and should be taken at the same time each day, with no breaks between packs. It’s important that you don’t take it more than three hours late, because this could influence how effective its contraceptive cover is. You must take the first pill on the first day of your period, as this will ensure that you are fully protected. If you take it up until the fifth day of menstruation, you will have to wait seven days for it to take full effect and use another form of contraception in the interim.
Are there any side effects?
Femulen mini-pills may cause side effects, just like most prescription medications. Most women experience very mild side effects that tend to disappear once their body gets used to the hormones. The most common side effects include rashes, headaches, nausea, anxiety, changes in weight, swollen breasts, dizziness and migraines. You should speak to your doctor straight away if you experience any side effects associated with thrombosis or if you experience jaundice.
