Information
The following information is
intended to supplement, not substitute for, the expertise and
judgment of your physician, pharmacist or other healthcare
professional. It should not be construed to indicate that use of
the drug is safe, appropriate, or effective for you. Consult
your healthcare professional before using this drug.
Cigarette smoking increases the risk of
serious side effects from Brevicon Oral Contraceptives, including heart
attacks, blood clots, and strokes. This risk is higher for women over 35
years old and heavy smokers (15 or more cigarettes per day). If you take
Brevicon Oral Contraceptives, you should not smoke.
Online Brevicon Use Indication:
Brevicon Oral Contraceptives come in packets of 21 or 28 tablets
to take by mouth once a day. To avoid upset stomach, take Brevicon Oral
Contraceptives with food or milk. Take the tablet routinely at the same
time every day (e.g., after dinner or at bedtime) to help you remember to
take the tablet regularly. Missing doses increases your risk of becoming
pregnant.
When first starting on this medicine, use an additional method of birth
control until you have correctly taken 7 days' worth of medicine.
If you have a 21-tablet packet, take one tablet daily for 21 days and then
none for seven days. Then start a new packet.
If you have a 28-tablet packet, take one tablet daily for 28 days. The
last seven tablets are a different color. These tablets are not
birth-control pills; they contain iron (ferrous fumarate) or an inactive
ingredient. You should take one tablet daily continuously for 28 days in
the order specified in your packet, starting a new packet the day after
taking your 28th tablet.
Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully concerning when
to take your first tablet (on the first or fifth day of your menstrual
period or on the first Sunday after or on which bleeding begins). Take the
oral contraceptive exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or
take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking this
medicine without talking to your doctor.
If you have recently given birth, wait until 4 weeks after giving birth to
begin taking Brevicon Oral Contraceptives.
Before taking Brevicon Oral Contraceptives, ask your pharmacist or doctor
for a copy of the manufacturer's information for the patient and read it
carefully.
