Alesse | 21 Tablets is a prescription oral contraceptive designed to prevent pregnancy. It contains a combination of two hormones: estrogen and progestin, which work together to inhibit ovulation, alter the cervical mucus, and change the uterine lining, making it more challenging for sperm to reach the uterus and for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
The active hormones in Alesse prevent the release of an egg from the ovary, thicken the cervical mucus to block sperm, and alter the uterine lining to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting. These mechanisms work together to effectively prevent pregnancy when taken as directed.
Alesse | 21 Tablets is intended for women seeking an effective form of birth control. It is essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if this contraceptive method is suitable based on individual health conditions and lifestyle.
Take one tablet daily, at the same time each day, for 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day break during which you may experience a menstrual period. It is crucial to follow the prescribed schedule to maintain its effectiveness.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time of your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double up on doses. Refer to the included patient leaflet or consult your healthcare provider for specific instructions.
Common side effects may include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, and mood changes. Serious side effects are rare but can include blood clots, stroke, or heart attack. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any severe or concerning symptoms.
Besides birth control, Alesse may be prescribed to treat other conditions as determined by a healthcare provider, such as managing symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis.
Inform your healthcare provider about any medical history of blood clots, heart disease, liver disease, or hormonal-related cancers. Discuss any medications you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions.
For more detailed information, refer to the patient information leaflet included with your medication or consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
