Contents:

Indications for use

  • Contraception.

Mechanism of action

The active substances inhibit ovulation and produce a qualitative effect on the endometrium of the uterus. Drospirenone has antiandrogenic and soft antimineralocorticoid properties.

Weak antimineralocorticoid properties have a weak antimineralocorticoid effect.

Dosage and mode of application

Take 1 tablet a day, at the same time of the day, for 28 days in a row. Follow the order indicated on the blister.

Start each next Tydemy pack the day after the previous one is finished.

Menstruation should begin on the 2nd-3rd day after the start of taking inert tablets and may not stop before the start of the next package.

If you had an abortion in the first trimester, the drug is taken on the day of the surgery.

If an abortion was made in the second trimester of pregnancy, or a woman wants to start taking an oral contraceptive after delivery, the reception starts on the 21-28th day.

A contraceptive effect is not guaranteed in the first week of admission. Therefore, it’s recommended to use barrier methods of contraception.

What if I miss a pill?

If you missed an active tablet, take it as soon as you remember it. The next tablet is taken the next day at the usual time. If the delay is less than 24 hours, the contraceptive properties of the drug are not reduced. If the break is more than 24 hours, the contraceptive effect can be reduced. If you missed an inert tablet, you may not worry and just throw it away.
