Guide to Gedarel

Gedarel is a combined hormonal contraceptive, commonly referred to as the "pill." It combines two active ingredients, ethinylestradiol and desogestrel, which work together to prevent pregnancy. This combination of hormones mimics the natural hormonal changes that occur during a woman's menstrual cycle.

Many women choose Gedarel as their preferred method of birth control due to its effectiveness and ease of use. It is important to note that Gedarel does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and should be used in conjunction with other forms of protection if STI prevention is a concern.

How Does Gedarel Work?

Gedarel primarily works by preventing ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovaries. It also thickens the cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach an egg, and alters the lining of the womb, making it less receptive to implantation.

Before starting Gedarel or any other hormonal contraceptive, it is crucial to consult a healthcare provider to determine if it is the right choice based on individual health factors and medical history. Healthcare professionals can provide personalised guidance on the proper usage of Gedarel and address any concerns or side effects that may arise during its use.

Key Components of Gedarel

Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic version of the hormone oestrogen, while desogestrel is a synthetic progestogen. These hormones work together to regulate the menstrual cycle and provide contraceptive effects.

Ethinylestradiol, a potent oestrogen derivative, plays a pivotal role in Gedarel by helping to stabilise hormone levels and prevent ovulation. Desogestrel, on the other hand, acts as a progestogen to thicken cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg. The synergistic action of these two active ingredients ensures the efficacy of Gedarel as a reliable contraceptive method.
