Cilique

Description

Cilique is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains two active ingredients, Ethinylestradiol and Norgestimate. These hormones work together to prevent ovulation, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and for a fertilized egg to attach to the womb. This contraceptive is suitable for women looking for an effective birth control method that is over 99% effective when taken correctly.

Dosage and usage
