How to take Fayosim extended-cycle?

Read and follow all instructions or guides included with your medication, and adhere to its label instructions. Before taking Fayosim, take the first pill the day after your period begins. As soon as taking Fayosim begins working for you, additional forms of birth control (like condoms or spermicide) may need to be utilized simultaneously as per medical advice - follow it. At most, one pill should be taken daily - no more frequently than every 24 hours. Once these have run their course, start fresh by ordering another package the following day. If you don't take one pill every day, you may become pregnant. Refill your prescription before you run out.Taken regularly, extended-cycle pills provide protection from monthly periods; instead your period should occur every 12 weeks. A 91-day birth control kit contains three trays and cards with 84 "active pills" and seven reminder pills; to maintain regular cycles you should take each dose in their correct order. Each tray holds 28 pills. Tray 3 contains 35 pills, as well as 7 reminder pills. Use these reminder pills to start your period. You might experience bleeding during the first three months. If the bleeding persists or increases significantly, visit your physician immediately. If you have severe diarrhea or vomiting, use backup birth control. You may have to temporarily stop taking this medication if you are going to be undergoing major surgery or confined for long periods of time.Please inform any healthcare professional treating you that you use birth control pills. In such instances, follow their prescribed visits regularly as it will need to be stored away from moisture or heat in a cool dry location at room temperature for storage purposes.

What happens if I miss the dose?

Please read the instructions that come with your medication. You are more likely to become pregnant if you miss a pill. Take two pills the next day if you forget to take one. Take one pill a day for the remainder of the pack. Take two pills a day for the next two days if you have missed two pills. Take one pill a day for the remainder of the package. After missing a pill, use a backup birth control method for at least seven days. If you have missed three active pills consecutively, do not take any more. Continue taking 1 pill according to package directions while leaving any unfinished doses inside their package. If missing three may cause any spotting or bleeding a backup birth control method should be utilized over the following seven days as soon as possible. If you forget a pill reminder, just throw it out and continue taking one daily until your pack of pill reminders are all used up. Missing only one reminder pill does not necessitate additional backup contraception; contact your healthcare provider if your period does not start when taking reminder pills as this could indicate being pregnant.

What happens if I overdose?

At any sign of overdose symptoms such as nausea or vaginal bleeding seek medical help immediately by calling the Poison Help Line on 1800222-1222, or seeking emergency assistance immediately.

What should I avoid when taking birth control pills?

No smoking while on birth control tablets if over 35 is taken. Birth control pills cannot protect against sexually transmissible diseases like HIV and AIDS; condom use alone will offer protection.
