What Are The Side Effects Of Rigevidon?

Hi, I was put on Rigevidon contraceptive pill to help my periods but I got a side effect which cased ache on my skin. So I then got out on Cilest and my skin is much better but now I am receiving extremely hevey brown discharge. Like almost a glue I know it s horrible but that s how I can only describe it. I even have to wear a sanitary towel but this morning I went for a pee and saw some blood so I thouht my period was coming so I used a tampon and the only thing I saw when I took it out was brown discharge it s very embarrassing but only during the day it s hevey. Not only this I am too afraid to have sex with my partner incase the brown discharge comes out and he s horrifed. Thanks any help would be amazing!!

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Rigevidon contains ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel as ingredients. Ethinylestradiol is a synthetic form of oestrogen and levonorgestrel is a synthetic form of progesterone.
Change in menstrual bleeding, usually lighter periods, brown discharge, heavy bleeding or sometimes stopping of periods can occur as side effect while taking the pill.
Such side effects are generally noticed during the initial few months of taking the treatment. Gradually, such symptoms should subside.
However, in case such symptoms continues to bother you, you need to seek medical attention promptly and change for the medication which could suit you.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
