Method of application
When combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are used correctly, the failure rate is approximately 1% per year. If pills are missed or used incorrectly, the failure rate may increase.
The tablets should be taken daily in the order indicated on the package, at about the same time, with a small amount of liquid. The drug is taken 1 tablet per day for 28 consecutive days. Taking tablets from each subsequent package should begin the day after taking the last tablet from the package, which has ended.
Bleeding usually begins 2-3 days after starting the light orange, hormone-free tablets (the last row in the pack) and may not end before you start taking the tablets from the next pack.

Interaction
Interaction of oral contraceptives and other drugs (enzyme inducers, some antibiotics) may lead to breakthrough bleeding and/or loss of contraceptive efficacy.

When treated with drugs that induce microsomal enzymes, a barrier method should be used throughout the entire period of treatment with the corresponding drug and for 28 days after its discontinuation.
