I have just been prescribed femodette as my previous pill (overanette) started causing me to bleed for months. I am concerned about the weight gain, as I am a boxer and don t want it to affect my performance. do you know what the chances of weight gain are on this pill?

Welcome to Health care magic. Thank you for posting your question.

I can understand your concern.

Femodette is a hormonal pill . Yes it causes a bit of weight gain. Actually it increases apetite. In fact all these pills cause a bit of weight gain.

But as a boxer , the amount of training you undergo and the strict diet you follow , I don't think this would pose any problem.

Post any other question. We will be happy to help.
Have a nice day. Regards.
