Dosage

How to take Femilon Tablet

Take 1 tablet daily for 21 days.

When you start taking it for the first time, start taking it on the first day of your period and try to take it at the same time every day as much as possible. After taking 21 days, there will be a 7-day washout period.

Taking Femilon Tablet and drug holiday

21 days of continuous administration + 7 days of drug holiday, 28 days in total is “1 cycle”. Femilon Tablet does not have a placebo (a placebo that does not contain any ingredients) to be taken to prevent forgetting to take during the drug holiday.

Please be careful not to forget your medication habit during the 7-day washout period.

The contraceptive effect continues by taking the drug repeatedly during the period when you do not want to become pregnant.

Precautions when taking Femilon Tablet

Strict adherence to the dosage regimen It is very important to follow the prescribed dosage regimen for this medicine.

Take it at almost regular times every day to avoid forgetting to take it. If you miss a dose, you are more likely to become pregnant.

Menstruation usually begins during the drug holiday. Start taking new pill sheets on the 29th day, whether your period is over or continuing.

What to do if you miss a dose If you miss a dose within 24 hours, take the missed dose when you notice it, and take the same dose at the normal time. In other words, you will take 2 tablets that day.

However, if 24 hours have passed since you missed a dose, the contraceptive effect will diminish, so stop taking that cycle, wait for the next menstruation, and start taking again from a new sheet.

Side effects

Main side effects

Due to the nature of ultra- low dose pills such as nausea, vomiting, irregular bleeding, malaise, headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, menorrhagia, rash, swelling, breast discomfort, and visual impairment, there are few side effects. There are individual differences in symptoms.

It is genital bleeding that tends to occur about 1 to 2 months after starting to drink.

Symptoms subside while you continue to take the drug, but if you continue to bleed for a long period of time, stop taking the drug and consult your doctor.

Rare side effects

If you continue to have severe diarrhea or vomiting, it is difficult for the medicine to be absorbed and you are more likely to become pregnant, so use other contraceptive methods together. As with many contraceptives, there is a considerable risk of thrombosis.

Sudden pain or swelling in the legs, severe headaches, tangled tongue, sudden shortness of breath, or sudden visual impairment may be signs of thrombosis.

For early detection and treatment, if you have any of these symptoms, do not overdo it and stop taking it and seek medical attention immediately.
