How do I take Femcon Fe?

Take one pill at the same time every day, in the order they appear in the packet. The last seven are “reminder” pills that do not contain the estrogen/progestin combination, and your period should start while you are taking these tablets. If you are just beginning to use Femcon Fe, take the first pill on either the first day of your period of the first Sunday after your period starts.

What if I forget to take a dose of Femcon Fe?

It is very important to take Femcon Fe at the same time every day; missing a dose increases your chances of becoming pregnant (unless the dose is a “reminder” pill in the fourth week). If you forget an active pill, take two pills on the day you remember, and then resume your normal dosage schedule. If you miss two pills in a row in week one or two, take two pills two days in a row, and then resume your normal schedule. Use a backup birth control method (such as condoms) for at least a week. If you miss more than two pills from week one or two, or if you miss two pills in week three, throw out the pack and start a new one. Use backup birth control for at least a week. If you have missed several active doses and think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor.

What are the possible side effects of taking Femcon Fe?

Femcon Fe may cause irregular menstrual periods, especially for the first three months. This medication may also cause mild nausea, bloating, breast tenderness, increased hair growth, weight changes, discomfort with contact lenses, or vaginal irritation. These side effects usually subside as your body adjusts to your medication, but tell your doctor if you have any conditions that are particularly bothersome or persistent. Stop taking Femcon Fe and contact your doctor immediately if you experience signs of a heart attack, symptoms of depression, signs of liver problems (jaundice, dark urine, clay-colored stools, upper stomach pain), swollen hands or feet, difficulty breathing, coughing with blood, severe migraines, or pain and warmth in one or both legs. If you have any side effects that concern you but aren’t listed here, you should still contact your doctor.

How do I store Femcon Fe?

Store your birth control in a dry space at room temperature. Do not leave it anywhere that children or pets could access it.
