Medicon: Effectiveness and Safety
Medicon is a contraceptive pill that is manufactured by Ortho. It is a drug made up of a combination of two elements (progestin and estrogen) that prevent pregnancy. However, they have other applications such as treating menopause symptoms, regulating the menstrual cycle and/or other uses established by a doctor. You should remember that this medicine needs prescription. Medicon users are not allowed to share this medicine with a person for whom it has not been prescribed.
There is some information that you have to take into consideration before you begin taking Medicon. For instance, it is not only crucial, but also beneficial to take the pill every single day (when it corresponds) at the same time. The fact that you take it after having breakfast or lunch may be helpful because associating it with other day-to-day activities can make the probabilities of missing the pill decrease. In this sense, it is fundamental to remember that Medicon users cannot take the medicine over 24 hours apart. In addition, it is imperative that you store this medicine at room temperature so that it can be away of light and heat. Furthermore, Medicon works in a way in which the user has three weeks on and one week off. If during this week you miss your period, you must get in contact with your doctor.
Also, there are some measures for you to take into account if you miss one dose of it. Be sure to take it as soon as you remember regardless of the fact that you will have to take two doses on the same day. In case you miss more than one dose, then you should go to the directions for use leaflet that always comes in the box. On the other hand, women who suffer from undiagnosed vaginal bleeding or smokers, among other kinds of people, should not take this pill. When taking this medicine, you better not take some sorts of anticonvulsants or antibiotics since they may interfere with the effectiveness of the pill.
