How Long Does The Effectivness Of Femillon Last As Contraceptive?
Hi, I have been on prescribed dosage of femillon for three months after I underwent hysteroscopic polypectomy. I am into my third month of the dosage. I want to understand the efficacy of femillon. I took one pill at 11pm before going to bed last night and had an intercourse at around 12 this afternoon. Will my last night s intake of femillon still act as an effective contraceptive? Thank you.

Hi,
Femilon is a drug which one should take regularly, preferably at the same time daily. If you have been taking it regularly then I don't see any issue in the condition mentioned above. It would act as a contraceptive if you have been taking it regularly without missing any pill around the day when you had intercourse.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
