Product Description

Seasonale Use

Seasonale is used to prevent pregnancy.

How Seasonale works

Seasonale prevents ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary), therefore preventing the possibility of pregnancy. Seasonale may also inhibit pregnancy by causing the cervical mucous to thicken, which makes it harder for sperm to move toward the uterus, and reducing the likelihood of attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus.

How to take Seasonale

The extended-cycle formulation of Seasonale has a 91-day treatment cycle, resulting in 4 menstrual periods per year.

Seasonale precautions

Avoid smoking cigarettes while taking ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel. Smoking greatly increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clot formation.

What to tell your doctor

Tell your doctor of any health conditions you have had.

Seasonale side effects

Most side effects are not serious, and those that are occur infrequently. Serious risks that can be life-threatening include blood clots, stroke or heart attacks—which are increased if you smoke cigarettes.
