Ethinyl Estradiol (0.03mg) + Levonorgestrel (0.15mg)

Overview Ovral 28 Tablet

Ethinylestradiol and norgestrel tablets (Ovral 28 equivalent) are prescribed for birth control and managing menstrual irregularities. This medication prevents ovulation and fertilization. It may be taken with or without food, but consistent timing is crucial for optimal efficacy. Follow your physician's instructions meticulously; typically, the first pill is taken on the first day of menstruation, continuing daily for a full month, then beginning a new pack. If vomiting occurs within four hours of ingestion, repeat the dose. A missed dose within twelve hours requires condom use for two days. Common side effects include nausea, headache, and breast tenderness. Report persistent or severe side effects to your doctor, who may offer mitigating strategies. Intermenstrual bleeding or amenorrhea may occur; consult your doctor if these become frequent or prolonged. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience limb swelling and pain, dyspnea, chest pain, or visual disturbances, as these may indicate a blood clot. Prior to commencing treatment, disclose any smoking (especially if over 35), history of heart attack, or uterine/cervical/vaginal cancer. Inform your physician about all concurrent medications, as interactions may reduce efficacy or alter the drug's effects. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Missed one pill? Take it as soon as you remember, even if that means taking two at once. Then, resume your regular schedule.
