Does Rigevidon Cause Weight Gain?
Hello. I moved from Sweden to the UK a while ago and my birth control ran out and I couldn t due to financial instability go back to Sweden so I went to a doctor here. Now in Sweden I was prescribed with Yasmine for it takes care of acne which I had for several years but it is not regularly used in the UK and I was prescribed rigevidon instead. What I was wondering is will my acne come back and will I gain weight from this? My doctor made sure that Yasmine was not making me gain weight but I am worried this might. Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Rigevedon can be used instead of Yasmine without making you have acne issues or gaining weight. It contains almost the same dosages of hormones as Yasmine and you can use it safely.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
