Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to take Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily.

In some situations, special care may be needed when taking Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily or any combined oral contraceptive. Your doctor will monitor you regularly. Smoking cigarettes increases the risk of serious heart and blood vessel reactions due to the use of oral contraceptives. This risk increases with age and the amount of tobacco and is quite relevant in women over 35 years of age. Women who use oral contraceptives should not smoke. Women over 35 years of age who smoke should consider using other contraceptive methods.

If you have any of the following situations, inform your doctor before starting to take Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily. If any of the following situations develop or worsen while taking Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily, you should consult your doctor to decide if Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily is suitable for you.

Inform your doctor if:

  • You have high blood pressure.
  • You have high cholesterol levels or abnormal lipid levels in the blood (hyperlipidemia) - these levels are detected in a blood test.
  • You are obese.
  • You are diabetic.
  • You have heart valve problems or arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation).
  • You have a family history of blood clotting disorders (in the legs, lungs, or any other part of the body) or have had heart attacks or strokes at a young age.
  • You have varicose veins or have had superficial vein inflammation in the legs.
  • You experience sudden and inexplicable changes in vision.
  • You have gallstones, bile duct problems, or liver problems (cholestasis) - may cause intense itching.
  • You develop migraines for the first time or worsen an existing migraine.
  • You have liver disease, jaundice, or pancreatitis or kidney problems.
  • You have depression.
  • You have hearing loss due to a condition known as otosclerosis.
  • You have had ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease (inflammation of the intestine that causes abdominal pain, frequent diarrhea, and fatigue).
  • You have had a blood disorder associated with kidney disease (hemolytic-uremic syndrome).
  • You have a condition that affects your immune system (systemic lupus erythematosus).
  • You have had porphyria.
  • You have had a skin problem during pregnancy or while taking the contraceptive pill that caused itching, red spots, or blisters (herpes gestationalis).
  • You have a condition known as Sydenham's chorea. Symptoms include irregular, sudden, and involuntary movements.
  • You have had melasma during pregnancy. The pill may cause this to recur, so you should avoid exposure to the sun or lying in the sun while taking Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily.
  • You have sickle cell disease.
  • You experience symptoms of angioedema such as facial swelling, tongue, and/or throat swelling, and/or difficulty swallowing or urticaria with possible difficulty breathing, contact a doctor immediately. Products containing estrogens can cause or worsen symptoms of hereditary and acquired angioedema.

Mental health disorders

Some women who use hormonal contraceptives like Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily have reported depression or a depressed mood. Depression can be severe and sometimes may induce suicidal thoughts. If you experience mood changes and depressive symptoms, contact your doctor for additional medical advice as soon as possible.

If you have hereditary angioedema, products containing estrogens can cause or worsen symptoms of angioedema. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms such as facial swelling, tongue, and/or throat swelling, and/or difficulty swallowing, or urticaria with possible difficulty breathing.

Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily and thrombosis (blood clots)

Deep vein thrombosis (blood clots)

The use of any combined pill, including Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily, increases the risk in women of developing deep vein thrombosis (formation of blood clots in the veins) compared to women who do not take any contraceptive pill.

The risk of deep vein thrombosis in patients taking combined pills increases:

  • with age,
  • if you are overweight,
  • if a close relative, at a young age, has had a blood clotting disorder,
  • with prolonged immobilization (e.g., with one of your legs in a cast or splint), major surgery, any type of surgery on the legs, significant trauma. In these situations, it is best to stop taking Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily (if the surgery is planned, you should stop taking it at least four weeks before) and not start again until two weeks after you can stand up again,
  • immediately after delivery, women have an increased risk of forming blood clots, so you should consult your doctor when you can start taking the combined pill after delivery.

Arterial thrombosis (blood clots)

The use of combined pills has been associated with an increased risk of arterial thrombosis (obstruction of an artery), for example, in the heart (heart attack) or brain (stroke).

The risk of arterial thrombosis in patients taking combined pills increases:

  • If you smoke. It is strongly recommended to stop smoking when taking Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily, especially if you are over 35 years old.
  • With age, even if you do not smoke.
  • If you have high levels of fat in the blood (cholesterol or triglycerides).
  • If you are overweight.
  • If a close relative has had a heart attack or stroke at a young age.
  • If you have high blood pressure.
  • If you have migraines.
  • If you have any heart problems (valve disorders, arrhythmias).

Stop taking Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily and consult your doctor immediately or go to the nearest hospital emergency department if you experience signs of thrombosis, such as:

  • Increased blood pressure.
  • Severe and/or swollen leg pain
  • Severe and/or sudden chest pain that may spread to the left arm.
  • Difficulty breathing, sudden shortness of breath.
  • Sudden and unusual coughing.
  • Severe and/or prolonged headache, or more frequent and severe migraines.
  • Changes in vision, partial or complete blindness, or double vision.
  • Difficulty speaking, or inability to speak.
  • Sudden changes in hearing, sense of smell, or taste.
  • Dizziness or fainting.
  • Severe stomach pain.

Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily and cancer

Cervical cancer has been diagnosed at a slightly higher frequency in women who use the combined pill, but it is unknown whether the cancer is caused by the pill. It is possible that these women are simply examined more rigorously and frequently, so there would be a greater chance of detecting cervical cancer before.

There have been studies in which cases of cervical cancer have been reported in women taking combined pills for a relatively long period. Currently, it is unknown whether this is caused by the pill or is related to sexual behavior (e.g., more frequent partner changes) and other factors.

In rare cases, benign liver tumors, and even a few cases of malignant liver tumors, have been reported in patients taking the pill. Contact your doctor if you have severe and unusual abdominal pain.

Intermenstrual bleeding

During the first few months of taking Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily, you may experience unexpected bleeding (bleeding or spotting outside the week in which you take the inactive pills (placebo) of white color).If this bleeding lasts more than a few months, or if it starts after some months, your doctor should investigate the cause.

What to do if there is no bleeding in the last week of taking pills (white pills)

If you have taken all the pills correctly, have not had severe vomiting or diarrhea, and have not taken any other medication, it is quite unlikely that you are pregnant.

If your period does not appear for the second time in a row, then you may be pregnant.Consult your doctor immediately.Do not start a newblisteruntil you are sure you are not pregnant.

Other medicines and Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have taken recently, or may need to take any other medication.

There are medicines that may interact withLevonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily.

Medicines can sometimes interfere with each other. If you are receiving treatment from another doctor, nurse, or qualified healthcare professional, make sure they are aware that you are taking Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily as a contraceptive.They may indicate if you need to take additional precautions(e.g., use condoms or other barrier methods) while taking other medicines with Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily.

Some medicines may make Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily less effective in preventing pregnancy, or may cause unexpected bleeding. These include medicines used to treat:

  • epilepsy (e.g., phenobarbital, primidone, phenytoin, felbamate, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, or topiramate)
  • infections (e.g., rifabutin, rifampicin, or griseofulvin)
  • HIV infection (ritonavir, nevirapine)
  • St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) used to treat certain types of depression
  • sleep disorders (modafinil)
  • gout (phenylbutazone).

If you have been told to take additional contraceptive precautions while taking one of the above medicines, follow your doctor's instructions carefully. If you need to continue taking the medicine after completing the white pills in your current pack, do not take the white pills and start a new pack immediately.

In some cases, you may need to continue using an additional barrier contraceptive for several weeks after stopping the medicine.

Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily may interact with the following medicines:

  • ciclosporin (used to reduce the immune response)
  • lamotrigine (used to treat epilepsy).

Taking a certain antibiotic called troleandomycin may increase the risk of intrahepatic cholestasis (retention of bile in the liver) during treatment with the combined pill.

Taking a medicine called flunarizine used to prevent migraines may increase the risk of galactorrhea. This is a condition in which the breasts secrete milk spontaneously without breastfeeding or having recently given birth.

Do not take Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily if you have Hepatitis C and are taking medications containing ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir, glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, or sofosbuvir/velpatasvir/voxilaprevir, as these medications may cause increases in liver function parameters in the blood (elevated ALT levels).

Your doctor will prescribe another type of contraceptive before starting treatment with these medications.

Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily can be restarted approximately 2 weeks after completing this treatment. See the section “Do not take Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily”.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Do not take Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily if you are pregnant.If you think you may have become pregnant during treatment with Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily, consult your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take the combined pill while breastfeeding, as the hormones may affect the milk. If you want to breastfeed, your doctor will advise you on alternative suitable contraceptive methods.

Always consult your doctor, nurse, or healthcare professional before using any medicine.

Driving and operating machinery

No studies have been conducted on the effect of Levonorgestrel/Ethinylestradiol Daily on the ability to drive or operate machinery. Dizziness has been reported as an adverse effect. If you experience dizziness, do not drive or operate machinery until it has resolved.

You must always start the next package on the same day of the week.
