Cilique is a combined hormonal contraceptive pill (‘the Pill’). You take it to stop getting pregnant.
This contraceptive contains two types of female sex hormones, oestrogen and progestogen. These hormones
prevent an egg being released from your ovaries so you can’t get pregnant.
Also, Cilique makes the fluid (mucus) in your cervix thicker which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the
womb. Cilique is a 21-day Pill – you take one each day for 21 days, followed by 7 days when you take no pills.
Take Cilique every day for 21 days
Cilique comes in a strip of 21 pills, each marked with a day of the week.
• Take your pill at the same time every day.
• Start by taking a pill marked with the correct day of the week.
• Follow the direction of the arrows on the strip. Take one pill each day.
• Swallow each pill whole, with water if necessary. Do not chew the pill.
Then have seven pill-free days
See patient information leaflet for full details.
