Why is Seasonale prescribed?

Seasonale is prescribed as an extended-cycle oral contraceptive to prevent pregnancy. It contains levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol, which are female hormones that work by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). Unlike traditional birth control pills that follow a 28-day cycle, Seasonale is designed for 91-day cycles, meaning users experience fewer menstrual periods—only four per year. This can be beneficial for individuals who prefer less frequent menstruation or experience discomfort during their period.

What does it do?

Seasonale works by preventing pregnancy through a combination of hormonal mechanisms. It contains levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol, two synthetic hormones that mimic natural female hormones. It prevents the ovaries from releasing an egg, which is a crucial step in conception. Additionally, it alters cervical mucus and the uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and for a fertilized egg to attach.

How should I take it?

Seasonale should be taken exactly as directed to ensure its effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. Start taking Seasonale on the first Sunday after your period starts. If your period starts on a Sunday, take the first pill that day. Take one pink (active) tablet daily for 84 consecutive days, followed by 7 days of white (inactive) tablets. To maintain consistency, take the pill at the same time every day.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose of Seasonale, follow the instructions provided in the medication guide. Missing multiple pills may require using a backup contraceptive method. If you miss any of the inactive pills, just discard them and continue taking the next active pill as scheduled. Avoid taking extra or double doses to compensate for the missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Seasonale?

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking, your current and previous medical history.

Before taking Seasonale, here are several important precautions to keep in mind:

• Avoid taking Seasonale if you're allergic to Levonorgestrel, Ethinyl Estradiol, or any of the ingredients in the medication.
• Disclose all your current or past medical conditions to your doctor, particularly if you have:
• Heart disease
• Blood clotting disorders
• Liver disease
• Diabetes
• Hormone-related cancers
• Seizures or migraines
• If you are over 35 years old and actively smoking, Seasonale may significantly increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack.
• Avoid sharing this medication with others, as it may cause unexpected health risks or adverse effects.
• Do not take Seasonale if you are pregnant or have recently given birth. If breastfeeding, consult your doctor, as the medication may affect milk production.
• Some users may experience breakthrough bleeding or spotting, especially in the first few months. If this persists, consult your doctor.

Is it safe to take it with another drug?

Seasonale (Levonorgestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol) can interact with various medications, so it's important to check for potential interactions before taking it with another drug. Some interactions may increase side effects or reduce effectiveness.

If you suspect an overdose of Seasonale (Levonorgestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol), it's important to act quickly and seek immediate medical attention.

Is it safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women?
