Prescription Nordette 28 Drug Information
Nordette 28 Uses?
Taking Nordette will prevent pregnancy or regulate menstrual cycles. This pill may also be used as a "morning after" pill or as a treatment for acne. Your doctor can tell you more about these options. Birth control pills will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV and gonorrhea.
Nordette 28 Directions?
Enpresse may occasionally cause stomach upset, so take it with food to avoid that. Taking this medication at the same time each day will help you develop the habit of taking it. Read the instructions for your medicine and follow the dosing instructions carefully. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain it to you. You should use backup birth control when first taking this medication, as it takes a week to become effective. Follow the instructions carefully if this is being used as a "morning after" pill.
Nordette 28 Side Effects?
Studies of those taking Nordette have shown mild side effects are possible, including bloating, stomach upset, dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, or nausea. While these effects should be temporary, talk to your doctor if they are bothersome. You should make sure to discuss any severe side effects such as lumps in the breast, sudden severe headache, severe depression, shortness of breath, chest pain, weakness or tingling in the arms or legs, yellowing of the eyes or skin. If you notice any side effects that are not listed here, mention them to your doctor.
Nordette 28 Warnings?
When prescribing Nordette, your doctor must know all of your medical history, including seizures, asthma, kidney disease, liver heart disease, stroke, history of jaundice (yellowing skin/eyes) or high blood pressure during pregnancy, heart attack, high blood pressure, excessive weight gain or fluid retention during menstrual cycle, blood clots, migraine headaches, breast cancer, high blood level of cholesterol or lipids (fats), diabetes, depression. When taken in larger doses, this drug may cause patchy darker spots on the skin, known as melasma. Exposure to sunlight may aggravate this condition, so avoid extended exposure to sun or sun lamps and wear sunscreen and protective clothing. It may take a long time to become pregnant after stopping birth control pills. Do not smoke cigarettes while taking the pill. This medication causes a small increase in the likelihood of blood clots, strokes, high blood pressure, heart attacks, vision problems, and gallbladder disease, liver tumors. Cigarette smoking and age will increase your risk of these side effects even more. Read the patient information leaflet for more details on these side effects. You should talk to your doctor about any questions, especially if you are over 40 or a nonsmoker. Those who are near sighted or who wear contacts may experience eye problems, or your lense tolerance may decrease. See an eye doctor for help. If you are having surgery, including dental surgery, let your doctor know that you are taking this medication. Do not take Nordette during pregnancy or while breast feeding. This drug is passed in breast milk and may have a harmful effect on the baby. Talk to your doctor.
