DIRECTIONS
Read the enclosed consumer information leaflet before using this product. Read it every time you buy a new pack.
Take 1 tablet at the same time every day, even when you bleed or have spotting.
This product will work best to prevent pregnancy when taken exactly as directed.
You can start on any day of the month.
Use a condom (or another barrier method) every time you have sex during the first 2 days (48 hours) of use after you start your first pack of this product, because it takes 2 days for Opill® to start working.
Never skip your daily tablet.
Never take a break between packs.
When you finish one pack (all 28 tablets), start the next one the following day without a break.
If you are more than 3 hours late taking your tablet or miss taking your tablet on 1 or more days:
Take 1 tablet immediately, as soon as you remember that you missed it.
Then go back to taking your daily tablet at your usual time. This means you may take 2 tablets in 1 day.
Use a condom (or another barrier method) every time you have sex during the next 2 days (48 hours) after you restart Opill®, because it takes 2 days to start working again.
Take a pregnancy test or talk to a doctor if your period is late after missing any tablets in the last month.
If you vomit for any reason or have severe diarrhea within 4 hours of taking your daily tablet:
Use a condom (or another barrier method) every time you have sex for the next 2 days (48 hours), because the medicine may not have been fully absorbed.
The next day, continue taking your daily tablet at your usual time. If you continue to vomit or have diarrhea, contact your healthcare provider right away.
