Uses
This medication is used to prevent pregnancy or
to regulate your menstrual cycle. Certain brands
of birth control pills may be used for treating
acne or as a "morning after" pill for emergency
contraception. Consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Use of this medication does not protect you or
your partner against sexually transmitted diseases
(e.g., HIV, gonorrhea).
How to Use
Take this medication with food or immediately
after a meal to prevent stomach upset. Try to
take this medication at the same time each day.
This may help you to remember to take it. Learn
proper use of your particular brand of medication.
Follow your dosing schedule carefully. Be sure
to ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any
questions. Use a supplemental form of birth control
during the first week of taking this medication
since it takes a while to be effective. Follow
your doctor's directions exactly if this drug
is being used as a "morning after" pill.
Side Effects
This medication may cause dizziness, headache,
lightheadedness, stomach upset, bloating, or nausea.
If these effects persist or worsen, contact your
doctor. Notify your doctor if you experience:
severe depression, groin or calf pain, sudden
severe headache, chest pain, shortness of breath,
lumps in the breast, weakness or tingling in the
arms or legs, yellowing of the eyes or skin. If
you notice other effects not listed above, contact
your doctor or pharmacist.
Precautions
Before you take this medication, tell your doctor
your entire medical history, including family
medical history, especially: asthma, high blood
pressure, kidney disease, liver heart disease,
stroke, history of jaundice (yellowing skin/eyes)
or high blood pressure during pregnancy, excessive
weight gain or fluid retention during menstrual
cycle, blood clots, heart attack, seizures, migraine
headaches, breast cancer, high blood level of
cholesterol or lipids (fats), diabetes, depression.
Depending on strength, this drug may cause a patchy,
darkening of the skin on the face (melasma). Higher
strengths are more likely to cause melasma. Sunlight
may intensify this darkening and you may need
to avoid prolonged sun exposure and sunlamps.
Consult your doctor regarding use of sunscreens
and protective clothing. It may take a long time
for you to become pregnant after you stop taking
birth control pills. Consult your doctor. Do not
smoke cigarettes. Birth-control pills slightly
increase your risk of strokes, blood clots, high
blood pressure, heart attacks, gallbladder disease,
vision problems, and liver tumors. Cigarette smoking
(especially 15 or more cigarettes daily) and age
(women older than 35/smokers or 40/nonsmokers
years of age) further increase the risk of stroke,
blood clots, high blood pressure and heart attacks.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of the
patient labeling which explains these risks in
more detail. Consult your doctor for any questions,
including possible use in nonsmokers over 40 years
of age. If you are near-sighted or wear contact
lenses, you may develop vision problems. Also,
your tolerance of the lenses may decrease. Contact
your eye doctor if these problems occur. Before
having surgery, including dental surgery, tell
the doctor that you take birth control pills.
This drug must not be used during pregnancy. If
you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant,
inform your doctor immediately. This medication
passes into breast milk. This may affect milk
production and may have harmful effects on a nursing
infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug Interactions
Tell your doctor what prescription and nonprescription
drugs you are taking. Drugs that may decrease
the effectiveness of the pill include: griseofulvin,
many antibiotics (e.g., penicillins, macrolides,
tetracyclines, sulfas, cephalosporins), chloramphenicol,
many seizure medications (e.g., phenytoin, barbiturates,
primidone, carbamazepine), dapsone, rifamycins
(e.g., rifampin), modafinil, nevirapine, nelfinavir,
ritonavir, St John's wort, troglitazone. Ask your
doctor if you should use additional birth control
methods while taking any of the drugs mentioned
above while taking birth control pills. Also tell
your doctor if you use: thyroid hormone drugs,
certain benzodiazepines (e.g., diazepam, chlordiazepoxide),
prednisone-like drugs, certain antidepressants
(e.g., tricyclics), beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol),
"blood thinners" (anticoagulants such as warfarin),
insulin. This product can affect the results of
certain lab tests (e.g., thyroid). Inform all
laboratory personnel that you use this drug. Birth
control pills may significantly intensify the
effects of alcohol. Consult your doctor or pharmacist
about this. Do not start or stop any medicine
without doctor or pharmacist approval.

control center or emergency room immediately.
