If you’re not ready to start a family yet and you want to prevent pregnancy, consider Alesse. Alesse is one of the most effective contraceptives sold on the market, and stops unwanted pregnancy from occurring 99% of the time when used as directed.
Side Effects: Common side effects of Alesse include vomiting, nausea, weight gain, bleeding between menstrual periods, breast tenderness, and difficulty wearing contact lenses. These side effects are mild and usually subside within the first 3 months of use.
Suggested Use: Follow your doctor’s advice. Use the Alesse pill pack dispenser to administer doses. Each pill pack contains 21 “active” pink pills (with hormones) and 7 reminder pills “light-green” pills (without hormones). Start taking the active pills on the first day of your period. Take one active pill a day for the first 21 days, followed by one reminder pill a day during the last week of your treatment. When you finish the pill pack, start a new 28-day cycle. Remember before you start taking Alesse decide what time of the day you want to take your pill. It’s important that you take your dose at the same time every day.
