Uses
SEASONALE® is the only FDA-approved birth control pill that lets you
have just 4 periods a year. You take active pills every day for three
months instead of every day for three weeks. And, leading women's healthcare
experts agree you don't need a monthly period when you're on the Pill
because you're not ovulating. Prescription SEASONALE® is the same
kind of trusted hormones as many other birth control pills. SEASONALE®
has the same reliable effectiveness (99%) as other birth control pills,
when taken as directed. Plus, you get just 4 periods a year.
How to Use
Follow the directions for using Seasonale provided by your doctor. Seasonale
COMES with a patient information leaflet. Read it carefully. Ask your
doctor, nurse, or pharmacist any questions that you may have before using
Seasonale. BEGIN TAKING Seasonale on the first Sunday following the start
of your period, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. If your period
begins on a Sunday, begin taking Seasonale on that day. TRY TO TAKE Seasonale
at the same time every day, not more than 24 hours apart. After taking
the last pill in the pack, start taking the first pill from a new pack
the very next day. STORE Seasonale at room temperature between 68 and
77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C), away from heat and light. For Seasonale
to be effective it must be taken every day. Do not skip doses. IF YOU
MISS A DOSE OF Seasonale, take it as soon as you remember. Take your next
dose at the regular time. This means you may take 2 doses on the same
day. IF YOU MISS 2 active pills in a row, take 2 pills on the day you
remember, and 2 pills the next day. Then return to your regular dosing
schedule. You must use another form of birth control as a back-up (such
as condoms or spermicides) for 7 days if you miss 2 pills in a row. If
you miss 3 or more active pills in a row, leave the missed pills in the
pack. Keep taking 1 pill every day until you have completed the pack.
You must use another form of birth control as a back-up for 7 days. If
you miss taking any of the inactive pills, throw them away. Finish the
rest of the pills in the pack on schedule. You do not need a back-up method
of birth control if you miss any of the inactive pills. If you have any
questions, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
Side Effects
SIDE EFFECTS, that may go away during treatment, include nausea, vomiting,
bleeding between menstrual periods, vaginal discomfort or irritation,
increased vaginal discharge, breast tenderness, or weight change. If they
continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE if you experience persistent or recurrent abnormal
vaginal bleeding, dark patches on the skin or face, swelling of fingers
or ankles, mental or mood changes such as depression, headache, or difficulty
wearing contact lenses. CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if you experience
calf/leg pain or swelling, trouble breathing or shortness of breath, chest
pain, one-sided weakness, slurred speech, confusion, lumps in the breast,
sudden severe headache, dizziness or fainting, sharp or crushing chest
pain, sudden shortness of breath, coughing up blood, dark urine, yellowing
skin or eyes, changes in vision, numbness of an arm or leg, or severe
stomach pain. AN ALLERGIC REACTION to Seasonale is unlikely, but seek
immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic reaction
include rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or trouble breathing. If you
notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor, nurse, or
pharmacist.
Precautions
DO NOT TAKE Seasonale if you have had an allergic reaction to it or are
allergic to any ingredient in the product. KEEP ALL DOCTOR AND LABORATORY
APPOINTMENTS while you are taking Seasonale. You should have a complete
physical examination, including blood pressure measurements, breast and
pelvic examinations, and a PAP test (for vaginal cancer), at least once
a year. Follow your doctor's instructions for examining your own breasts,
and report any lumps immediately. Seasonale may affect certain lab test
results. Make sure laboratory personnel and your doctors know you use
Seasonale. If you will be having surgery or will be confined to a chair
or bed for a long period of time (e.g., a long plane flight), notify your
doctor 3 to 4 weeks beforehand. Special precautions may need to be taken
in these circumstances while you are taking Seasonale. IF YOU MISS YOUR
PERIOD during the week of inactive pills, call your doctor immediately.
A missed period may indicate that you are pregnant. BLEEDING OR SPOTTING
may occur while taking Seasonale. DO NOT STOP taking Seasonale if this
occurs. If bleeding or spotting continues for more than 7 days or is heavy,
contact your doctor. SMOKING CIGARETTES while using Seasonale may increase
your risk of stroke, heart attack, blood clots, high blood pressure, or
other diseases of the heart and blood vessels. IF YOU WEAR CONTACT LENSES
and you develop problems with them, contact your doctor. Seasonale MAY
CAUSE dark skin patches on your face. Exposure to the sun may make these
patches darker. If patches develop, use a sunscreen or protective clothing
when exposed to the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths. USE OF Seasonale
WILL NOT PREVENT the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including
HIV. BEFORE YOU BEGIN TAKING ANY NEW MEDICINE, either prescription or
over-the-counter, check with your doctor or pharmacist. TAKING CERTAIN
ANTIBIOTICS or anticonvulsants while you are using Seasonale may decrease
the effectiveness of Seasonale. To prevent pregnancy, use an additional
form of birth control until your next period. If you have any questions,
contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. DO NOT USE Seasonale if you
are pregnant. IF YOU SUSPECT THAT YOU COULD BE PREGNANT, contact your
doctor immediately. Seasonale IS EXCRETED IN BREAST MILK. DO NOT BREAST-FEED
while you are taking Seasonale.
