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.

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.

breasts, and report any lumps immediately. A manufacturer's
fact sheet about this drug should be dispensed with each
