You can change any day from the progestin-only pill (from an implant or an IUS on the day of its removal, from an injectable when it would be the next injection), but in all these cases you must use additional protection methods (for example, a condom) during the first 7 days that you take the tablets.
After an abortion
Follow your doctor's recommendations.
After having a baby
You can start taking Daylette between 21 and 28 days after having a baby. If you start after day 28, you must use a barrier contraceptive method (for example, a condom) during the first 7 days of Daylette use.
If, after having a baby, you have had sex before starting to take Daylette (again), first make sure you are not pregnant or wait until your next menstrual period.
If you are breastfeeding and want to start taking Daylette (again) after having a baby
Read the “breastfeeding” section.
If you are not sure when to start, consult your doctor.
If you take more Daylette than you should
There are no reports of serious adverse effects from taking too many Daylette tablets.
If you take several tablets at the same time, you may feel unwell, vomit, or experience vaginal bleeding.
Even girls who have not yet started menstruating but have accidentally taken this medication may experience this type of bleeding.
If you have taken too many Daylette tablets, or if you discover that a child has taken some tablets, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult immediately your doctor or pharmacist or call the Toxicological Information Service, phone 915620420 indicating the medication and the amount taken.
If you forgot to take Daylette
The last 4 tablets of the 4th row of the blister are placebo tablets. If you forget to take one of these tablets, it will have no effect on the efficacy of Daylette.
Throw away the forgotten placebo tablet.
If you forget an active white tablet (tablets 1-24 of your blister), you must do the following:
If you are delayedless than 24 hoursin taking a tablet, the protection against pregnancy will not be reduced.
Take the tablet as soon as you remember and then take the next tablets at the usual time.
If you are delayedmore than 24 hoursin taking a tablet, the protection against pregnancy may be reduced. The greater the number of tablets forgotten, the greater the risk of becoming pregnant.
The risk of incomplete protection against pregnancy is greater if you forget to take a white tablet at the beginning or end of the blister. In this case, you must follow the following rules (see also the diagram):
You have forgotten more than one tablet of the blister
Consult your doctor.
You have forgotten a tablet between days 1-7 (first row)
Take the forgotten tablet as soon as you remember, even if this means taking two tablets at the same time. Continue taking the tablets at the usual time and takeadditional precautionsfor the next 7 days, for example, a condom. If you have had sex in the week before forgetting the tablet, you must know that there is a risk of pregnancy. In that case, consult your doctor.
You have forgotten a tabletbetween days 8-14 (second row)
Take the forgotten tablet as soon as you remember, even if this means taking two tablets at the same time.Continue taking the tablets at the usual time. The protection against pregnancy will not be reduced, and you do not need to take additional precautions.
You have forgotten a tabletbetween days 15-24 (third or fourth row)
You can choose between two options:
Take the forgotten tablet as soon as you remember, even if this means taking two tablets at the same time.Continue taking the tablets at the usual time. Instead of taking the green placebo tablets of this blister, throw them away and start a new blister (the start day will be different).
It is likely that you will have a light bleeding or a menstrual-like bleeding while taking the second blister.
You can also leave taking the active white tablets and go directly to the 4 green placebo tablets (before taking the placebo tablets, you must note the day you forgot to take the tablet). If you want to start a new blister on the day you always start, take the placebo tablets for less than 4 days.
If you follow one of these two recommendations, you will still be protected against pregnancy.
If you have forgotten any of the tablets of the blister and do not have bleeding during the placebo days, this may mean that you are pregnant. You must consult your doctor before starting the next blister.
Yes
Day 1 - 7
Have you had sex in the week before forgetting the tablet?
No
Take the forgotten tablet
Use a barrier method (condom) for the next 7 days
Finish the blister
You have only forgotten 1 white tablet (and you have taken it with more than 24 hours of delay)
Day 8 - 14
Take the forgotten tablet
Finish the blister
Take the forgotten tablet and
Finish taking the active white tablets
Discard the 4 green placebo tablets
Start a new blister
Day 15 - 24
or
Stop taking the active white tablets immediately
Go directly to the 4 green placebo tablets
And start the next blister
What to do in case of vomiting or severe diarrhea
If you vomit in the 3-4 hours after taking an active white tablet, or if you have had intense diarrhea, there is a risk that your body will not absorb the active principles of the tablet completely.
The situation is almost the same as forgetting a tablet. After vomiting or diarrhea, you must take another active white tablet from a reserve blister as soon as possible. If possible, take it within 24 hours after the usual time of taking the contraceptive. If this is not possible or more than 24 hours have passed, follow the recommendations given in “If you forgot to take Daylette”.
Retarding menstruation: what you should know
Although not recommended, you can delay your period by not taking the green placebo tablets of the fourth row and going directly to take a new Daylette blister and finish it. You may experiencea light bleeding or a menstrual-like bleeding while taking the second blister. Finish the second blister by taking the 4 green placebo tablets of the 4th row. Then, start a new blister.
You can ask your doctor for advice before deciding to delay your menstrual period.
Changing the first day of your menstrual period: what you should know
If you take the tablets as instructed, your period will startduring the placebo days. If you need to change this day, reduce the number ofdays of placebo–when you take the green placebo tablets– (but never increase–4 is the maximum!). For example, if you start taking the placebo tablets on a Friday, and you want to change it to a Tuesday (3 days earlier), you should start the new blister 3 days earlier than usual. You may not have any bleeding during this time. You may experience a light bleeding or a menstrual-like bleedingafterwards.
If you are not sure how to act, consult your doctor.
If you interrupt the treatment with Daylette
You can stop taking Daylette when you want. If you do not want to become pregnant, consult your doctor about other reliable contraceptive methods.
If you want to become pregnant, stop taking Daylette and wait until you have a menstrual period before trying to become pregnant. This way, you will be able to calculate your due date more easily.
If you have any other doubts about the use of this medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Contact a doctor immediately if you experience any of the following angioedema symptoms: facial swelling, tongue and/or throat swelling and/or difficulty swallowing or urticaria with possible difficulty breathing (also see the "Warnings and precautions" section).
