Despite the fact that both drugs have been used for a long time, scientists have not identified which drug is better. They belong to the same pharmacological group, and their composition is slightly different. Therefore, the effectiveness of contraceptives is the same.
These drugs have some difference in the pharmacological effect, hence the indications of drugs differ.
Regulon also has more contraindications than Janine. Both drugs have side effects that occur when tablets are not taken properly.
Thus, each of the drugs has its own positive aspects. Regulon has the following advantages:
- Good effect on contraception.
- Regulation of lipid metabolism in the blood.
- Decreased menstruation.
- Reducing pain during menstruation and in premenstrual syndrome.
- Improving the skin in the presence of acne.
- The ability to use in the treatment of gynecological diseases (endometriosis, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts).
- Affordable price.
Janine has the following advantages:
- Normalization of the menstrual cycle.
- Prevention of gynecological diseases.
- The possibility of treating alopecia and seborrhea.
- Good tolerance to the drug.
- Not conducive to weight gain.
- Reproductive function returns to normal after discontinuation of the drug.
The cost of drugs also has a significant difference. The price of Janine for a blister with 21 tablets is 900-100 rubles. The price of Regulon for the same number of tablets is much less and varies in the region of 350-400 rubles.
Regulon is suitable for patients over 40 years of age who already have children and they need the drug for the purpose of contraception and subsequently to avoid abortion.
In the modern world, oral contraceptives for women have gained popularity . They help to avoid unwanted pregnancy, as well as cure some gynecological diseases. Popular drugs prescribed by experts are Regulon and Janine. Sometimes women prescribe drugs on their own, which is wrong, since they have a large number of contraindications and side effects. Sometimes a specialist provides a drug of choice. Therefore, many girls are interested in which of the drugs is better.

It belongs to the group of contraceptives. It has a contraceptive and estrogen-progestogen effect.
The substances that make up the drug inhibit the synthesis of hormones. This makes ovulation difficult and makes the mucus thicker. If sperm enters, they will not be able to penetrate the egg because of thick mucus.
During the period of taking the drug in women, the amount of discharge during menstruation decreases, and the condition of the skin (especially in the presence of acne) improves.
Both components are observed in the blood at maximum concentration after 1.5-2 hours. The bioavailability of desogestrel is 60-80%, and ethinylsetardiol is about 60%. Excreted mainly with urine, and the remainder with feces.
