Alesse (Ethinyloestradiol, Levonorgestrel)

General information

Alesse contains a combination of female hormones that prevent ovulation. It contains a combination of two different types of hormones: an estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and a progestin (levonorgestrel). It also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. Alesse is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy.

Directions

Take Alesse exactly as it was prescribed for you. Starting at the beginning of the pack, take one tablet daily at the same time each day. The first 21 tablets contain the active ingredients. The last seven tablets contain no active ingredients. Breakthrough bleeding may occur, especially during the first 3 months. You may need to use back-up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using Alesse. You may get pregnant if you do not use the drug regularly.

Precautions

Before using Alesse, tell your doctor if you have: high blood pressure, heart disease, gallbladder disease, diabetes, irregular menstrual cycles, varicose veins, tuberculosis. Taking hormones can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack, especially if you smoke and are older than 35. It is advisable to use condoms in addition to the drug, because Alesse does not protect against HIV, AIDS, or other sexually transmitted diseases.

If you miss two 'active' pills in a row during third week, or if you miss three pills in a row during any of the first three weeks, need to start a new pack. If you did not use three 'active' tablets during any of the first three weeks, start a new pack on the same day as if you are a First Day starter. If you skipped two or more tablets, you may not have a monthlies during this month. If you miss a period for two months in a row you might be pregnant.
