Both of these drugs are prescribed as a method of contraception and are available in tablet form. They include two hormones estrogen and gestagen. They are very similar in their principle of action, both are designed to suppress ovulation.
One of the most important differences is their price. For example, Rigevidon is approximately two times cheaper than its counterpart. Also, these drugs differ slightly in their contraindications for use, for example, the drug “Rigevidon” can not be taken by women with vision problems of vascular origin and with pathologies of heart valves.
Since there is much more in common between the drugs than the differences, it is impossible to state with accuracy which one is better. It is worth considering your financial capabilities, the use of Rigevidon will be cheaper than Regulon. You also need to remember the differences in contraindications. If there are diseases indicated in the contraindications of Rigevidon, it is better to start taking Regulon.
