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 birth control medication does not protect
you or your partner against sexually transmitted
diseases (e.g., HIV, gonorrhea).
How to Use
Take this birth control 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 birth control 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.
Overdose
If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison
control center or emergency room immediately. Symptoms
of overdose may include nausea and vomiting. Females
may experience vaginal bleeding.

cancer), at least once a year. Follow your doctor's
instructions for examining your own breasts, and
report any lumps immediately. A manufacturer's fact
sheet about this drug should be dispensed with each

your doctor or pharmacist any questions you may
have.
