Cilique Contraceptive Pill

Buy Cilique (Combined Contraceptive Pill)
Cilique is a type of combined contraceptive pill containing norgestimate and ethinylestradiol. These are synthetic versions of the female sex hormones progestogen and oestrogen, working to prevent pregnancy by stopping the ovaries from releasing an egg every month and thickening the mucus in the cervix. When used correctly, combined contraceptive pills are up to 99% effective at preventing pregnancy.
How Cilique (Combined Contraceptive Pill) works
Cilique contains two female sex hormones to help protect against pregnancy: norgestimate and ethinylestradiol. These active substances work as a contraceptive by preventing your ovaries from releasing an egg every month. It also thickens the mucus in the cervix (the neck of the womb) so it’s harder for sperm to reach an egg, and thins the lining of the womb so there’s less chance of a fertilised egg being able to implant itself into the womb and start growing. This means there are three preventative measures in place, making it extremely unlikely for you to fall pregnant.
 
Directions
Your Cilique pill will come in a strip of 21 pills, each labelled with a day of the week and arrows so you can easily keep track. You should take one pill each day, at the same time each day. After you’ve taken a full strip of 21 tablets, you should have a 7-day break where you don’t take any. This will trigger a withdrawal bleed similar to a period. Even if you’re still bleeding by the time you’re due to start your next strip, you should still start the strip on time.
Starting Cilique
If you’re taking Cilique for the first time, you should try to take your first pill on the first day of your period, or within the first 5 days of your period starting. This means you will be protected from pregnancy straight away. If you start Cilique at any time, make sure you aren’t already pregnant first and keep using extra contraception for the first 7 days of taking your pills.
