How do I take Jolessa?

In order for it to be effective, one Jolessa pill must be taken per day at the same time every day. Pick a time when it is easier for you to remember to take your pill. If you were not previously taking another birth control pill, you may have to use contraception for 7 seven days to wait for the pill to take effect. Talk to your doctor about how long you should wait. You will take the 84 active pills in the pack first. After day 84, you will take one inactive pill per day for 7 days and you will start your period.

What if I forget to take a dose of Jolessa?

If you miss one Jolessa pill, take the missed pill as soon as you remember it, and then take your next pill at the regular time. This means you may take two pills in one day. If you miss two pills, take two pills on the day you remember and two the following day to catch up. You must use back up contraception for 7 days. If you miss more than two pills in a row, call your doctor.
