Desopil 30 Tablet

This is indicated to prevent pregnancy. Oral contraceptives are a very effective method of birth control. When taken correctly (without missing tablets), the chance of becoming pregnant is very low.

This pack contains 21 tablets. On the pack, each tablet is marked with the day of the week on which it is to be taken. Take your tablet at about the same time each day, with some water if necessary. Follow the direction of the arrows until all 21 tablets have been taken. During the next 7 days you take no tablets. A period should begin during these 7 days (the withdrawal bleed). Usually, it will start on day 2-3 after the last tablet. Start taking your next pack on the 8th day even if your period continues. This means that you will always start new packs on the same day of the week, and also that you have your withdrawal bleed on about the same days, each month.

Starting your first pack of this tablet-

• When no hormonal contraceptive has been used in the past month: Start taking this tablet on the first day of your cycle, i.e. the first day of menstrual bleeding. Take a tablet marked with that day of the week. For example, if your period starts on a Friday, take a tablet marked Friday. Then follow the day's in order. You may also start on days 2-5 of your cycle, but in that case make sure you also use an additional contraceptive method (barrier method) for the first 7 days of tablet taking in the first cycle.
• When changing from another combined Pill: You can start taking this tablet the day after you take the last tablet from your present Pill pack (this means no tablet free break). If your present Pill pack also contains inactive tablets you can start this tablet on the day after taking the last active tablet (if you are not sure which this is, ask your doctor or pharmacist). You can also start later, but never later than the day following the tablet-free break of your present Pill (or the day after the last inactive tablet of your present Pill).
• When changing from a progestagen-only Pill (minipill): You can stop taking the minipill any day and start taking this tablet the next day, at the same time. But make sure you also use an additional contraceptive method (a barrier method) for the first 7 days of tablet taking when having intercourse.
• When changing from an injectable or implant: Start using this tablet when your next injection is due or on the day that your implant is removed. But make sure you also use an additional contraceptive method (a barrier method) for the first 7 days of tablet-taking when having intercourse.
• After having a baby: If you have just had a baby, your doctor may tell you to wait until after your first normal period before you start taking this tablet. Sometimes it is possible to start sooner. Your doctor will advise you. If you are breast-feeding and want to take this tablet, you should discuss this first with your doctor.
• After a miscarriage or an abortion: Your doctor will advise you.

If too many this tablet are taken (overdose): There have been no reports of serious harmful effects from taking too many this tablets at one time. If you have taken several tablets at a time, you may have nausea, vomiting or vaginal bleeding. If you discover that a child has taken this tablet, ask your doctor for advice.

When you want to stop taking this tablet: You can stop taking this tablet at any time you want. If you do not want to become pregnant, ask your doctor about other methods of birth control.

If you stop taking this tablet because you want to get pregnant, it is generally recommended that you wait until you have had a natural period before trying to conceive. This helps you to work out when the baby will be due.

If you forget tablets:

• If you are less than 12 hours late in taking a tablet, the reliability of the Pill is maintained. Take the tablet as soon as you remember and take the next tablets at the usual times.
• If you are more than 12 hours late in taking any tablet, the reliability of the Pill may be reduced. The more consecutive tablets you have missed, the higher the risk that the contraceptive efficacy is decreased. There is a particularly high risk of becoming pregnant if you miss tablets at the beginning or at the end of the pack. Therefore you should follow the rules given below.

More than one tablet forgotten in a pack: Ask your doctor for advice.

1 tablet missed in week 1: Take the missed tablet as soon as you remember (even if this means taking two tablets at the same time) and take the next tablets at the usual time. Use extra contraceptive precautions (barrier method) for the next 7 days. If you had sexual intercourse in the week before missing the tablets, there is a possibility of becoming pregnant. So tell your doctor immediately.

1 tablet missed in week 2: Take the missed tablet as soon as you remember (even if this means taking two tablets at the same time) and take the next tablets at the usual time. The reliability of the Pill is maintained. You need not use extra contraceptive precautions.

1 tablet missed in week 3: You may choose either of the following options, without the need for extra contraceptive precautions.

Take the missed tablet as soon as you remember (even if this means taking two tablets at the same time) and take the next tablets at the usual time. Start the next pack as soon as the current pack is finished so that no gap is left between packs. You may not have a withdrawal bleed until the end of the second pack but you may have spotting or breakthrough bleeding on tablet-taking days. Or

Stop taking tablets from your current pack, have a tabletfree break of 7 days or less (also count the day you
missed your tablet) and continue with the next pack. When following this method, you can always start your next pack on the same day of the week as you usually do.

If you have forgotten tablets in a pack and you do not have the expected period in the first normal tablet-free break, you may be pregnant. Consult your doctor before you start with the next pack.

you vomit: If you vomit within 3 to 4 hours after taking your this tablet, the active ingredients may not have been completely absorbed. This is like missing a tablet. Therefore, follow the advice for missed tablets.

you want to delay your period: you can delay your period if you start with your next pack of this tablet immediately after finishing your current pack. You can continue with this pack for as long as you wish, until this pack is empty. When you wish your period to begin, just stop tablet taking. While using the second pack you may have some breakthrough bleeding or spotting on tablet-taking days. Start with your next pack after the usual 7 day tablet-free break.

you want to change the starting day of your period: If you take your tablets as directed, you will have your period on about the same day every 4 weeks. If you want to change this, just shorten, (never lengthen) the next tablet-free break. For example, if your period usually starts on a Friday and in future you want it to start on Tuesday (3 days earlier) you should now start your next pack 3 days sooner than you usually do. If you make your tablet-free break very short (e.g. 3 days or less) you may not have a bleeding during the break. You may have some breakthrough bleeding or spotting during the use of the next pack.

You have unexpected bleeding: With all Pills, for the first few months, you can have irregular vaginal bleeding (spotting or breakthrough bleeding) between your periods. You may need to use sanitary protection, but continue to take your tablets as normal. Irregular vaginal bleeding usually stops once your body has adjusted to the pill (usually after about 3 tablet-taking cycles). If it continues, becomes heavy or starts again, tell your doctor.

you have missed a period: If you have taken all of your tablets at the right time, and you have not vomited, or used other medicines then you are very unlikely to be pregnant. Continue to take this tablet as usual. If you miss your period twice in a row, you may be pregnant. Tell your doctor immediately. Do not start the next pack of this tablet until your doctor has checked you are not pregnant.

Before you start to use this tablet: If the combined Pill is used in the presence of any of the conditions listed below you may need to be kept under close observation. Your doctor can explain this to you. Therefore, if any of these apply to you, tell your doctor before starting to use this tablet

• you smoke;
• you have diabetes;
• you are overweight;
• you have high blood pressure;
• you have a heart valve disorder or a certain heart rhythm disorder;

• you have sickle cell disease;
• you have or have had chloasma (yellowish-brown pigmentation patches on the skin, particularly of the face): if so, avoid too much exposure to the sun or ultraviolet radiation.

If any of the above conditions appear for the first time, recur or worsen while using the Pill, you should contact your doctor.

The Pill and Thrombosis: A thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot, which may block a blood vessel. A thrombosis sometimes occurs in the deep veins of the legs (deep venous thrombosis). If this blood clot breaks away from the veins where it is formed, it may reach and block the arteries of the lungs, causing a so-called "Pulmonary embolism." Deep venous thrombosis is a rare occurrence. It can develop whether or not you are taking the Pill. It can also happen if you become pregnant. The risk is higher in Pill-users than in non-users, but it is not as high as the risk during pregnancy.

Blood clots can also occur very rarely in the blood vessels of the heart (causing a heart attack) or the brain (causing a stroke). Extremely rarely blood clots can occur in the liver, gut, kidney or eye.

Very occasionally a thrombosis may cause serious permanent disabilities or may even be fatal.

The risk of having a heart attack or stroke increases, as you get older. It also increases the more you smoke. When using the Pill you should stop smoking, especially if you are older than about 35 years of age.

If you develop high blood pressure while using the Pill, you may be told to stop using it.

The risk of having a deep venous thrombosis is temporarily increased as a result of an operation or immobilisation (for example, when you have your leg or legs in plaster or splints). In women who use the Pill, the risk may be yet higher. Tell your doctor you are using the Pill well in advance of any expected hospitalisation or surgery. Your doctor may tell you to stop taking the Pill several weeks before surgery or at the time of immobilisation. Your doctor will also tell you when you can start taking the Pill again after you are back on your feet. If you notice possible signs of a thrombosis, stop taking the Pill and consult your doctor immediately.

The Pill and cancer: Breast cancer has been diagnosed, slightly more often in women who use the Pill than in women of the same age who do not use the Pill. This slight increase in the numbers of breast cancer diagnoses gradually disappears during the course of the 10 years after stopping use of the Pill. It is not known whether the difference is caused by the Pill. It may be that the women were examined more often, so that the breast cancer was noticed earlier. In rare cases benign liver tumours and even more rarely, malignant liver tumours have been reported in users of the Pill. These tumours may lead to internal bleeding. Contact your doctor immediately if you have severe pain in your stomach.

Cervical cancer has been reported to occur more often in women using the Pill for a long time. This finding may not be caused by the Pill but may be related to sexual behaviour and other factors.

The Pill and other Medicines: Some medicines may stop the Pill from working properly. These include medicines used for the treatment of epilepsy (eg. primidone, phenytoin, barbiturates) and tuberculosis (eg. rifampicin); and antibiotics (eg. ampcillin, tetracyclines, griseofulvin) for some other infectious diseases. Always tell the doctor, who prescribes the Pill, which medicines you are already using. Also tell any other doctor or dentist who prescribes another medicine (or the dispensing pharmacist) that you use this tablet. They can tell you if you need to take additional contraceptive precautions and if so, for how long.

The Pill and Ability to Drive: There are no observed effects.
