Try to take Microgestin Fe at the same time each day. This may help you to remember to take it. Microgestin Fe is available in a cycle of one tablet a day for 21 days with no medication for 7 days, or in a package of 28 days where 7 of the tablets may not contain any hormone. Follow your dosing schedule carefully. Be sure to ask your doctor if you have any questions. Use a supplemental form of birth control during the first week of taking Microgestin Fe since it takes a while to be effective. Side Effects Microgestin Fe may cause dizziness, headache, lightheadedness, stomach upset, bloating, or nausea. If these effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor. Notify your doctor if you experience: severe depression, pain in groin or calf, sudden severe headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, lumps in the breast, weakness or tingling in the arms or legs, yellowing of the eyes or skin. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist. Precautions Before you take Microgestin Fe, tell your doctor your medical history, including: family medical history, (especially if you have asthma), high blood pressure, kidney, or liver problems, heart disease, a history of jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), high blood pressure during pregnancy, excessive weight gain or fluid retention during menstrual cycle, strokes, blood clots, seizures, migraine headaches, breast cancer, high blood level of cholesterol or lipids (fats), diabetes, depression. It may take a long time for you to become pregnant after you stop taking birth control pills. Consult your doctor. Do not smoke cigarettes. Birth-control pills slightly increase your risk of strokes, blood clots, high blood pressure, heart attacks, gallbladder disease, vision problems, and liver tumors. Cigarette smoking (especially 15 or more cigarettes daily) and age (women older than 35/smokers or 40/nonsmokers years of age) further increase the risk of stroke, blood clots, high blood pressure and heart attacks. Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of the patient labeling which explains these risks in more detail. Consult your doctor for any questions, including possible use in nonsmokers over 40 years of age. If you are near-sighted or wear contact lenses, you may develop vision problems. Also, your tolerance of the lenses may decrease. Contact your eye doctor if these problems occur. Before having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor that you take birth control pills. Depending on strength, Microgestin Fe may cause a patchy, darkening of the skin on the face (melasma). Higher strengths are more likely to cause melasma. Sunlight may intensify this darkening and you may need to avoid prolonged sun exposure and sunlamps. Consult your doctor regarding use of sunscreens and protective clothing. Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be very dangerous and even fatal. Keep Microgestin Fe out of the reach of children. If overdose occurs, call a doctor or poison control center immediately. Microgestin Fe must not be used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. Microgestin Fe is excreted into breast milk and has had undesirable effects on nursing infants. Using Microgestin Fe while breast-feeding is not recommended. Consult your doctor about using alternative birth control methods. Missed Dose If you forget to take a dose, take as soon as you remember. If you do not remember until the next day, take the missed tablet and the tablet for that day. If you miss 2 days in a row, take 2 tablets each day for 2 days, then return to your regular schedule. If you miss three days in a row, stop taking Microgestin Fe and use another method of birth control until your next period. Begin the next cycle of pills at the prescribed time even if you do not begin to menstruate on schedule at the end of a pill cycle.
