Reclipsen Birth Control Pills
Like most birth control pills, Reclipsen™ (desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol) offers many benefits. For example, it:
- Is a relatively easy-to-use form of contraception
- Is a very effective birth control pill
- Causes lighter and more regular menstrual bleeding.
Reclipsen dosing is the same for all women -- one tablet taken once a day, at the same time each day (with or without food). It is very important to take this medication consistently, as missing pills increases your risk of pregnancy. Reclipsen is a generic version of Desogen®.
