WHAT BENIDETTE IS USED FOR
Benidette
is
a
combined
oral
contraceptive
(‘the
combined
Pill’).
Each
tablet
contains
a
small amount of two different
female
hormones.
These
are
desogestrel (a progestogen) and
ethinylestradiol
(an
estrogen).
Because of the small amounts of
hormones,
Benidette
is
considered
a
low-dose
oral
contraceptive. As all tablets in
the
pack
combine
the
same
hormones in the same dose, it is
considered
a
monophasic
combined oral contraceptive.
Benidette
is
used
to
prevent
pregnancy.
When
taken
correctly
(without
missing
tablets), the chance of becoming
pregnant is very low.
HOW BENIDETTE WORKS
Benidette
releases
two
female
sex hormones that prevent the
release of an egg cell from the
ovaries. If no egg is released you
cannot become pregnant.
