Cilest
Cilest is a birth control pill. It is a so-called combination pill which means it contains two hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. These hormones prevent ovulation and at the same time change the lining of the uterus making it harder for an egg to develop or settle. You take the pill for 21 days on end before stopping for a week to allow menstruation.

If you are breastfeeding, Cilest will have a negative impact on your milk production and you might not want to use it until you have finished breastfeeding.
People suffering from high blood pressure, thrombosis or obesity could be advised against using contraception, this includes taking Cilest.
