Description
Feanolla is a daily oral contraceptive tablet containing desogestrel, a synthetic progestogen. It is a progestogen-only pill (POP), commonly referred to as the “mini pill,” and is suitable for women who cannot take oestrogen-containing contraceptives or prefer a hormone-only option. Feanolla provides reliable pregnancy prevention when taken correctly and is suitable for use during breastfeeding.
How It Works
The active ingredient, desogestrel, works in two ways to prevent pregnancy: it thickens the cervical mucus, making it more difficult for sperm to reach the egg, and in most users, it also inhibits ovulation. Unlike traditional POPs that primarily affect mucus, desogestrel-based pills such as Feanolla offer a higher efficacy due to their ovulation-inhibiting effect.
Why Choose Feanolla
Feanolla offers an oestrogen-free method of contraception that is effective, discreet, and simple to use. It is especially beneficial for women who are breastfeeding, over 35 and smoke, or are unable to tolerate oestrogen. Each pack contains 28 pills, and the continuous daily dosing avoids the need for a pill-free break, helping to form consistent habits and maintain contraceptive coverage.
Important Note
Feanolla must be taken at the same time every day without breaks. A delay of more than 12 hours may compromise its contraceptive effect. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Some users may experience irregular bleeding patterns, especially in the first few months. Regular medical review is advised, particularly for users with a history of clotting disorders or liver conditions.
