About Mircette (Desogestrel + Ethinyl Estradiol):

Product Type: Birth Control

Brand name: Mircette Generic name: Desogestrel + Ethinyl Estradiol What is the most important information I should know about Mircette? • Take one pill every day no more than 24 hours after the 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. • Avoid smoking cigarettes while taking Mircette. Smoking greatly increases the risk of having a heart attack stroke or blood clot. • Use another form of birth control if a birth control pill is missed (see the package insert) or if you are taking drugs that may decrease the effectiveness of Mircette (see the section of this leaflet titled “What other drugs will affect Mircette?”). What are Mircette? • Mircette contain a combination of hormones that prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). The pills contain a form of estrogen and a form of progesterone which are both female hormones involved in conception. • Mircette also have other effects that inhibit pregnancy. They cause the cervical mucous to thicken which makes it harder for sperm to move toward the uterus and they prevent the attachment of an egg to the uterus. • Mircette are used to prevent pregnancy. • Mircette may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide. What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Mircette? • Before taking this medication tell your doctor if you have high blood pressure angina or heart disease; had a stroke; a bleeding or blood-clotting disorder; breast uterine or another hormone-related cancer; liver disease or a history of jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) caused by use of birth control in the past; undiagnosed abnormal vaginal bleeding; migraines; asthma; or seizures or epilepsy. • You may not be able to take Mircette or you may require special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above. • Mircette are in the FDA pregnancy category X. This means that Mircette are known to cause birth defects in an unborn baby. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can have serious negative effects on a developing baby. Do not take Mircette if you are pregnant or think you might be pregnant. • The hormones in Mircette pass into breast milk and may decrease milk production. Do not take Mircette without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. How should I take Mircette? • Take Mircette 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 a package on the first Sunday after your period begins unless otherwise directed. • Take one pill every day no more than 24 hours after the 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. • Taking the pill at night may help to reduce nausea or headache experienced because of 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. The 28-day cycle contains seven pills that are either placebos (with no active ingredients) or iron supplements. These are “reminder” pills to keep you on your regular cycle. They are taken during your period. • If you are on a 21-day cycle take one pill every day for 21 days then do not take any pills for 7 days. You should have your period during the 7 days with no pills. Resume taking a pill on the 8th day with a new package. • Follow your doctor's instructions about using a second form of birth control when you first start taking Mircette when you are taking antibiotics or if you miss a pill. If you are unsure what to do in any of these cases talk to your pharmacist nurse or doctor about how to ensure that you will not become pregnant. • Store your Mircette at room temperature away from moisture and heat. What happens if I miss a dose? • Missing a pill increases the risk of becoming pregnant. • Follow the exact directions on the package information insert concerning missed doses. If you do not have a package information insert call your pharmacist doctor or nurse to find out what to do. • In general: • If you miss one dose take the dose as soon as you remember or take two pills at the time of your next regularly scheduled dose. There is little likelihood that ovulation will occur. You may however want to use a second method of birth control such as a condom or a spermicidal cream jelly or foam for at least 7 consecutive days following the missed tablet to ensure protection from pregnancy. • If you miss two tablets in a row take the two missed tablets as soon as you remember or with your next regularly scheduled dose (three total). Or you may take two tablets each for the next two regularly scheduled doses (one missed tablet plus one regularly scheduled tablet for 2 days in a row). Chances are much greater that you may ovulate so you must use another form of birth control for at least 7 days following the missed tablets. It is even better to use a second method of birth control until your next period. • If you miss three tablets in a row throw away the package and start a new package on the 7th day after the last day you took a pill. Use another method of birth control until you have taken a pill for 7 days in a row. Your period should occur during the 7 days without pills. If it doesn't have a pregnancy test before beginning a new package of pills. • Read all of the information in your package information insert. It may have slightly different instructions in the case of missed pills. Talk to your pharmacist nurse or doctor if you have any questions. What happens if I overdose? • Serious harm is not likely to occur from an overdose of Mircette. Consult a doctor an emergency room or a poison control left for advice. • Symptoms of an overdose include nausea vomiting and menstrual bleeding. What should I avoid while taking Mircette? • Avoid smoking. Smoking greatly increases the risk of a heart attack stroke or blood clot formation. • Mircette do not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases — including HIV or AIDS. What are the possible side effects of Mircette? • If you experience any of the following serious side effects stop taking the Mircette and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the 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); or liver damage (yellowing of the skin or eyes nausea abdominal pain or discomfort unusual bleeding or bruising severe fatigue). • Other less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take the Mircette and talk to your doctor if you experience headache or dizziness; nausea vomiting or diarrhea; breakthrough bleeding; or breast tenderness. • These side effects may disappear or be less noticeable after 3 to 6 months of birth control use. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you find any side effect very bothersome. • The side effects listed below generally occur very rarely and are not considered serious. If you experience any of the following talk to your doctor when it is convenient: depression; changes in weight or appetite; vaginal yeast infection; changes in your menstrual cycle; oily skin or acne; changes in your sex drive; lethargy or fatigue; bloating; changes in skin color; or changes in blood sugar. • Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome. What other drugs will affect Mircette? • Some drugs may decrease the effectiveness of Mircette which may result in pregnancy. Use a second form of birth control until you talk to your doctor or clinic if you are taking an antibiotic; a barbiturate such as amobarbital (Amytal) butabarbital (Butisol) mephobarbital (Mebaral) secobarbital (Seconal) or phenobarbital (Luminal Solfoton); rifampin (Rifadin); phenytoin (Dilantin); carbamazepine (Tegretol); or griseofulvin (Grisactin Grifulvin V Fulvicin PG). • Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with Mircette.

News: Micronutrient powder helps prevent malnutrition in children up to two years old, study review shows In a systematic review published by the Cochrane Collaboration last week, researchers found that the micronutrient powder used in recent years to combat malnutrition, anemia and iron deficiency in children was very helpful in preventing malnutrition in children six to 24 months old, VOA News reports. WHO epidemiologist Luz Maria De Regil "and other researchers combined the results of eight previous studies involving thousands of children," VOA writes, adding, "The studies were done on three continents, in countries as varied as Haiti, Cambodia and Ghana." "Specifically, the supplement powder reduced anemia by about one-third and iron deficiency by half compared to no supplement or a placebo," VOA notes. "The micronutrient powder seems to be about equally effective as iron supplements, but the authors say that conclusion should be treated 'cautiously,' because of limited data," the news service adds (Chimes, 9/9).
