Rigevidon® – Combined Oral Contraceptive Pill in the UK

Rigevidon® is a prescription-only combined oral contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy and help regulate menstrual cycles. It contains two hormones—ethinylestradiol (oestrogen) and levonorgestrel (progestogen)—which work together to provide reliable contraception when taken correctly.

Available through RapidMeds, a trusted UK-registered GPhC & CQC pharmacy, Rigevidon can be prescribed following a secure online consultation with a UK-registered clinician.

What Is Rigevidon®?

Rigevidon UK is a well-established combined pill, often prescribed as a cost-effective alternative to other combined oral contraceptives. Each pack contains 21 tablets, taken daily followed by a 7-day pill-free break.

Each tablet contains:

• Ethinylestradiol 30 micrograms
• Levonorgestrel 150 micrograms

How Rigevidon® Works

Rigevidon prevents pregnancy through three complementary actions:

• Stops ovulation (prevents release of an egg)
• Thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to enter the womb
• Thins the womb lining, reducing the chance of implantation

When taken correctly, the Rigevidon contraceptive pill UK is highly effective.
