Alesse 0.18mg Birth Control Tablets

Alesse is used to prevent ovulation as a contraception medication. The drug changes the condition of cervical mucus and uterine lining and hampers the movement of sperm cells to the uterus and attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus.

Dosage and direction
Follow all recommendations of your health care advisor. Take the first on the first day of your menses or on the first Sunday after your period started. If you use Alesse for the firs time you may need additional birth control means. There are 28-day birth control packs with seven 'reminder' pills for the regular cycle. While you are using 'reminder' pills the period usually begins. Breakthrough bleeding is possible, if it becomes heavy and continues, inform your doctor. Take each pill each day about the same time. When your pill pack is over start a new one. In case of needed medical tests or surgery, it is possible that you may need to stop using Alesse for a short period of time.
