Is Gedarel the same as Yasmin or Rigevidon?
Gedarel,
Yasmin and
Rigevidon are all brands of the combined oral contraceptive pill. However Gedarel is not the exactly same as Yasmin or Rigevidon. Gedarel 20/150 contains 20 micrograms of ethinylestradiol (oestrogen), whereas Gedarel 30/150 contains 30 micrograms. Both contain the progestogen desogestrel. Whilst
Yasmin and
Rigevidon both contain 30 micrograms of ethinylestradiol, they contain different types of progestogen to Gedarel. You can learn more about how they all compare in our
pill 'groups' explained blog.
