Indication:
- This medicine is a pill used to prevent pregnancy.
- 24 film-coated tablets are active tablets containing small amounts of two different female hormones: estrol and drospirenone.
- 4 film-coated tablets of different colors do not contain drugs or hormones and are called placebo tablets.
- Pills like these that contain two different hormones are called “combination pills.” or “combined”; called tablets. They work together to prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary) and reduce the likelihood that the released egg will be fertilized and you will become pregnant.
Dosage:
- Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
- When and how to take pills?
- One blister contains 28 film-coated tablets:
- 24 active tablets (numbers 1–24) and 4 tablets of inactive placebo (numbers 25–28).
- Always start a new blister pack with the active tablet marked number 1 (see “Starting”). From the 7 day of the week adhesive labels, choose the one that starts with the day of the week you start taking the pills. For example, if you start on Wednesday, use a day label starting with “Wed.” begins. Stick it on the symbol “–>” on the front side of the blister pack. Each day corresponds to a number of tablets. This will allow you to check whether you have taken the pill every day.
