Dimia tablets, instructions for use (Method and dosage)

On how to properly take the drug can be read in the instructions on Dimia. These contraceptives should not be skipped every day. Doctors recommend doing this at the same time in the order, which, as a rule, is indicated on the blister. Contraceptives Dimia, as well as other similar drugs should be used continuously for 28 days.
New packaging of the contraceptive tablets Dimia should be opened only after the end of the previous one. Approximately from the third day from the beginning of reception of the last row of tablets in the blister (the placebo period), unpronounced bleeding may begin. If the packaging of the contraceptive does not end by the end of the month, then the pill starts to take on the first day of menstruation.
At sexual contacts during the first seven days of using the drug, it is necessary to use additional methods of contraception (barrier). When switching to the use of Dimia after other complex contraceptives, for example, transdermal patch, tablets, vaginal rings and so on, you should start taking this medication immediately the day after using the previous method of contraception.
When switching to Dimia after using a contraceptive that contains exclusively progesterone (injections, implants, mini-pili) or after intrauterine contraceptives (spiral), you can take this medication on any convenient day. However, before using tablets, barrier methods of contraception should be used.
By appointment, a woman can start taking these tablets on the day after the abortion (abortion, vacuum). After giving birth, it is recommended to wait 28 days and then resume taking the drug. It is important to note that the missed taking of the placebo tablets (from the 4th row of the blister) is an insignificant factor.
However, this rule does not apply to tablets containing active ingredients, ethinylestradiol and drospirenone. If the tablet has not passed 12 hours since the last pill, the level of contraceptive protection is not reduced. The missed tablet should be taken as soon as possible, and the next one - at the usual time.
Do not take a break in taking pills for more than 7 days, since this is the amount of time needed to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary ovary system. For correct use of the contraceptive it is necessary to adhere to the following recommendations:
    if a pill is missed during the first week of the drug use, the woman should start using the contraceptive as soon as possible, and in order to avoid the risk of becoming pregnant, it is necessary to resort to additional methods of barrier contraception for the next seven days;
    if you miss a dose from the 8th to the 14th day of its use, you should also resume using Dimia as soon as possible and then return to the regular schedule, with no need for additional contraception if the woman has not forgotten to take birth control pills in the previous seven days;
    the effectiveness and reliability of this method of contraception is significantly reduced in the event that the admission pass was for a period of 15 to 24 days of use, because at this time the woman needs to switch to placebo tablets.
In order to avoid an unwanted pregnancy in the event of the last of the described situations of missing the drug, a woman should take a tablet as soon as possible in return for the missed dose. Further, it is necessary to adhere to your usual schedule of taking the drug, until the active pills run out. As a result of mixing the schedule for taking a contraceptive, calculated for 28 days, there will be placebo pills in the blister, which you do not need to take.
Most likely, with this variant of normal bleeding "cancellation" will not be until the end of the next packaging of the contraceptive, however, I can appear smearing discharge. If a drug is missed between the 15th and 24th day of the beginning of its use, a woman may not return to the regular schedule of contraceptive use and take 4 days (including missed days) of placebo tablets and then proceed with the new package.
If this option does not cause bleeding "withdrawal", then you should consider the possibility of pregnancy. If there is a gastrointestinal disorder, the effectiveness of the drug is reduced, since the active compounds will not be absorbed to the end by the stomach. In the event that, after 4 hours after taking the pill, the woman vomited, it is immediately necessary to take the second, i.e. a replacement tablet.
If there is no monthly intake of Dimia, then this can signal the onset of pregnancy. It is worth noting that the spotting of "cancellation" a woman can adjust, for example, delay yourself by changing the schedule for taking the drug.
To do this, you can skip the placebo tablets and immediately proceed to take the tablets containing the active compound from the new package. It is noteworthy that with the delay or shift of bleeding "cancellation" acyclic smearing or copious spotting may appear.

Overdose

At the moment there is no information about cases of overdose by Dimia. However, based on experience with the use of complex contraceptives, such as overdose, such symptoms as nausea, vaginal bleeding, and vomiting may occur.
