How to take Deblitane?

Before beginning treatment with any new medicine or supplement, be sure to read all instructions or guides provided with it and comply with their directions.Follow the directions on your prescription label. Follow your doctor's instructions on when to begin taking Deblitane as contraception if you have been using a combination pill that contains both estrogen and progesterone. You should take one Deblitane pill per day. The interval between pills must not exceed 24 hours. If you don't take one daily pill to prevent pregnancy, there is still the potential of becoming pregnant.

If you have diarrhea or vomiting or are more than 3 hours late with your dose of birth control, you may be required to use a backup contraceptive (e.g., condoms containing spermicide). Deblitane is usually taken for 5–10 days for abnormal bleeding or menstrual problems. You will experience vaginal bleeding 3–7 days following your last dosage. Deblitane is taken long-term, daily, for a few months. You may need to change the dose from time to time. Regularly, your doctor should monitor the progress of your treatment. Monthly, self-examine breasts to look for lumps. Also have mammograms. Do not hesitate to report any abnormal bleeding in the vaginal area. Deblitane may affect certain tests. Inform any physician who treats you about your use of this medication. Keep this medicine at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and light.

What happens if I miss the dose?

Follow the directions on your medication or consult your healthcare provider immediately if there are adverse reactions. Missed doses of birth control increase your likelihood of pregnancy. Take the medication as soon as possible if you forget to take it. Use a backup birth control method for 48 hours if you're more than three hours late.
