What our users say
Excellent, I was really impressed with the speed of everything, from being communicated with by a clinician to receiving my order. Packaging is completely discreet and the information is thorough.
Great service, makes it easy to get my contraceptive in bulk and I don't need to worry about it for a while.
Excellent service that has saved me a lot of time, money, and effort over the last few years. Especially during lockdown, when it was impossible to get to a clinic.
About Rigevidon
How to take Rigevidon
Take one tablet per day, for 21 days. There are 21 pills per pack.
You can use the pill to control when, and how often, you bleed. You can have a regular bleed by taking a 7-day break from the pill between each pack. Or you might want to avoid bleeding completely by continuing onto the next pack without a break.
If you do have a break, you’re still covered for contraception as long as you’ve been taking it every day and you start your next packet 7 days later.
