Among such populations, about 89% become pregnant within one year.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
To achieve maximum contraceptive effectiveness, Mircette ® (desogestrel/ ethinyl estradiol and ethinyl estradiol) Tablets must be taken exactly as directed and at intervals not exceeding 24 hours. Mircette ® may be initiated using either a Sunday start or a Day 1 start.
NOTE: Each cycle pack dispenser is preprinted with the days of the week, starting with Sunday, to facilitate a Sunday start regimen. Six different "day label strips" are provided with each cycle pack dispenser in order to accommodate a Day 1 start regimen. In this case, the patient should place the self-adhesive "day label strip" that corresponds to her starting day over the preprinted days. IMPORTANT: The possibility of ovulation and conception prior to initiation of use of Mircette ® should be considered. Page: << Prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Next >>
