SEASONALE DRUG INFORMATION, ABOUT SEASONALE

IMPORTANT WARNING:

GENERIC SEASONALE®: Jolessa

COMMON BRAND NAME: SEASONALE®

WHAT IS SEASONALE?

Oral contraceptives are used to prevent pregnancy. Progestin and estrogen are two female sex hormones. Combinations of progestin and estrogen work by preventing the release of eggs from the ovaries and by changing the cervical mucus and the lining of the uterus. Oral contraceptives are an effective method of birth control, HOWEVER, they do not prevent the spread of AIDS or any other sexually transmitted disease.

HOW TO USE SEASONALE

Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) come in either a packet of 21 or 28 tablets. They are taken by mouth once a day. To avoid stomach upset, take oral contraceptives with milk of food. To help remember to take your Seasonale, take it routinely at the same time every day. If you miss a dose, you increase your chance of becoming pregnant.

When first starting Seasonale, use an additional method of birth control until you have correctly taken it for 7 days.

If your packet contains 21 tablets, take one tablet every day for 21 days. Then take none for seven days. After that cycle, start a new packet.

If your packet contains 28 tablets, take one tablet every day for 28 days. The last seven tablets are a different color because they are not birth-control pills. They contain an inactive ingredient or iron (ferrous fumarate). Take one tablet every day continuously for 28 days in the order specified in your packet. When one packet is finished, start a new packet the day after taking your 28th tablet.

Carefully follow the directions on your prescription label about when to take your first tablet. You may be directed to start on the first or the fifth day of you menstrual period, or on the first Sunday after bleeding begins. Take Seasonale exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your medical care provider. Do not stop taking Seasonale without talking to your doctor.

If you have given birth recently, wait until 4 weeks after giving birth to begin taking Seasonale.

Before taking Seasonale, ask your doctor or pharmacist for a copy of the manufacturer's information for the patient. Carefully read it.
