What is Alesse: Alesse (Ethinyl
Estradiol and Levonorgestrel) contains a combination of
hormones, estrogen and progesterone, which are female
hormones involved in conception. Alesse prevents ovulation.
Alesse also causes the cervical mucous to thicken, which
makes it harder for sperm to move toward the uterus, and
prevents the attachment of the egg to the uterus, thus
preventing pregnancy. Alesse may also be used for purposes
other than preventing pregnancy.
Taking Alesse: Take Alesse exactly as directed by
your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask
your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
Take the first pill in the package on the first Sunday after
your period begins (unless otherwise directed by your
doctor). Take one pill every day, within 24 hours period
since your last dose. Try to take the pills at a time that
you will remember every day--for example just before bed,
with a meal, or first thing in the morning, etc. Taking your
pill at night may help to reduce any nausea or headache that
you may experience due to the hormones. If you are on a
28-day cycle, take one pill every day. When the pack runs
out, throw it away. Begin a new pack the following day.
Alesse Precautions and Warnings: Follow your doctor's
instructions about using a second form of birth control when
you first start taking Alesse, when you are taking
antibiotics, or if you miss a pill. If you are unsure what
to do with any of these cases, talk to your pharmacist,
nurse, or doctor about how to ensure the prevention of
pregnancy.
Possible Side Effects of Alesse: If you experience
any of the following serious side effects, stop taking
Alesse and seek emergency medical attention: an allergic
reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat;
swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives); a blood
clot in the lung (shortness of breath or pain in the chest);
a blood clot in an arm or leg (pain, redness, swelling, or
numbness of an arm or leg); high blood pressure (severe
headache, flushing, blurred vision); liver damage (yellowing
of the skin or eyes, nausea, abdominal pain or discomfort,
unusual bleeding or bruising, severe fatigue). Less serious
side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take
Alesse and talk to your doctor if you experience: headache
or dizziness; nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; breakthrough
bleeding; or breast tenderness. Rare forms of side effects
that could occur include: depression, changes in weight or
appetite, vaginal yeast infection, changes in menstrual
cycle, oily skin or acne, changes in sex drive, lethargy or
fatigue, bloating, changes in skin color, changes in your
blood sugar.
Storing Alesse: Store Alesse at room temperature away
from moisture and heat.
