Seasonique Information:

• What

What is Seasonique?

Seasonique is an extended cycle birth control. Each pack contains 91 pills, and you will only get your period approximately once every three months. Most of the pills contain .15mg of levonorgestrel (progestin) and .03mg of ethinyl estradiol (estrogen). The yellow tablets only contain .01mg of ethinyl estradiol. Seasonique works to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation and thickening cervical mucous to prevent sperm from reaching the egg. It also changes the uterine lining to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg.

• How

How do I take Seasonique?

Pick a time of day when it is easiest for you to remember to take your birth control pill. Seasonique should be taken at the same time every day for it to be most effective. Take one pill per day until you finish the pack. If you are not switching over to Seasonique from another type of hormonal contraceptive, you will have to use back-up contraception for 7 days. Ask your doctor what is the best day to start taking Seasonique and how many days you need back-up contraception. After you finish the first 84 pills in your pack and start taking the yellow pills, you should get your period. If you miss a period, talk to your doctor.
