What is Kalliga?

Kalliga is a birth control pill that contains feminine hormones that block the ovulation process (the release of eggs from the ovary). Kalliga can also cause changes to the uterine mucus in your cervical lining, making it difficult for sperm cells to enter the uterus as well as making it harder for fertilized eggs to connect to the uterus.

How to take birth control pills?

Follow the directions on the prescription label and go through all medication guides or instructions. Follow the medication exactly as prescribed. The initial pill is taken the day you begin your menstrual cycle or on the first Sunday following your period. It is possible to require additional birth control options, like condoms or fertilizer, before you take this medication. Follow the directions of your doctor.

Each day, take one pill for at least 24 hours. If the pills are empty, then start a fresh pack the next day. It is possible to become pregnant if you take a pill every day. Refill your prescription before you are completely out of pills. Certain birth control kits contain seven "reminder" pills to keep you on the same cycle. Your period is usually scheduled to begin when you're using these pills as reminders. There is a possibility of bleeding that has exploded. Contact your doctor if it persists or becomes very heavy. Utilize a backup birth control plan if you're sick and suffering from severe vomiting. Any surgeon or doctor who treats you needs to know that you are taking birth control medications. When you are taking birth control pills, you'll have to see your doctor often. Keep at room temperature, away from heat and moisture.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Follow the instructions on the prescription label and take note of all medication guides and instruction sheets. In the event of missing a dose, you increase the likelihood of becoming pregnant. If you do not take one active pill, you should take two pills during the day if you can remember. Then, take one pill a day for the remainder of the package. If you don't take two active tablets in one row during the first or second week, you should take two pills daily for two days. Then, take one pill a day throughout the remainder of the week. Make sure to use a backup birth control plan for up to 7 consecutive days after the missing pills.

If you fail to take two active pills consecutively during Week 3, you can throw out the rest of your pack and start a fresh pack the next day when you are a day 1 starter. If you're the Sunday starter, you should continue taking a pill each day through Sunday. On Sunday, toss out the rest of your pack and begin a new one the following day. If you do not take 3 active pills in one row during the week of 1–2, or 3, discard the remainder of your pack and begin a fresh pack the next day if you're a day 1 starter. If you're a Sunday-based starter, continue taking a dose throughout the day up to Sunday. When you are done, take out the rest of your pack and start a fresh one for the day. If you take 2 or 3 pills per day, it is possible that you will not have a period throughout the month. If you don't have your period for more than two consecutive months, consult your physician because there is a possibility that you are pregnant. If you don't remember a pill, discard it and take one pill a day until your pack is completely empty.
