IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION (click to expand)
Slynd is a birth control pill (oral contraceptive) also called a POP (progestin only pill) that is used by women who can become pregnant to prevent pregnancy.
Your health needs are complex, and it’s important to feel confident in all your decisions. Check out these FAQs for information to help you take the next step-whatever that may be.
If you are a smoker or have heart and blood vessel problems, you should consult with a doctor first to see if it is safe to take a combined pill containing estrogen.
Depending on your prescribed birth control pill, instructions may vary. However, general rule is to take it as soon as you remember. You may need to use a backup contraceptive method (i.e. condom) depending on the number of pills missed.
If you're healthy and you don't smoke, you can continue taking birth control pills after age 35. However, birth control pills containing estrogen are not recommended if you're 35 and older and you smoke because of the risk of serious blood clots.
In terms of your overall health, it makes little difference when you stop taking the pill. When you finally do stop the pill, you can expect some bleeding, which may change the rhythm of your menstrual cycle. But you can stop at any time.
Slynd® is effective at preventing pregnancy. Your chance of getting pregnant depends on how well you follow the directions for taking your birth control pills. The better you follow the directions, the less chance you have of getting pregnant. Based on the results of one clinical study of a 28-day regimen of Slynd® about 4 out of 100 females may get pregnant within the first year they use Slynd®.
You should not take Slynd® if you have kidney disease or kidney failure, reduced adrenal gland function (adrenal insufficiency), cervical cancer or any cancer that is sensitive to female hormones, liver disease, including liver tumors or unexplained vaginal bleeding. Tell your healthcare provider if you have or have had any of these conditions. Your health-care provider can suggest a different method of birth control.
Slynd® (white active and green inactive tablets) is swallowed whole once a day. Take one tablet daily for 28 consecutive days; one white active tablet daily during the first 24 days and one green inactive tablet daily during the 4 following days. Tablets must be taken every day at about the same time of the day so that the interval between two tablets is always 24 hours.
You may stop taking Slynd® whenever you wish. Consider a visit with your healthcare provider for a pre-pregnancy checkup before you stop taking Slynd®.
Slynd® may cause serious side effects, including high potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia). Certain medicines and conditions can also increase the potassium levels in your blood. Your healthcare provider may check the potassium levels in your blood before and during treatment with Slynd®
The most common side effects of Slynd® include acne, menstrual cramps, headache, nausea, breast pain and tenderness, severe vaginal bleeding, weight gain and less sexual desire. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Some women may miss a period. Irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting may happen while you are taking Slynd®, especially during the first few months of use. If the irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting continues or happens again after you have had regular menstrual cycles call your healthcare provider. It is important to continue taking your pills on a regular schedule to prevent a pregnancy.
Some women miss periods on hormonal birth control, even when they are not pregnant. However, if you go 2 or more months in a row without a period, or you miss your period after a month where you did not use all of your Slynd® correctly, call you healthcare provider because you may be pregnant. Also call your healthcare provider if you have symptoms of pregnancy such as morning sickness or unusual breast tenderness. You should stop taking Slynd® if you are pregnant.
If one white active tablet is missed, take the missed tablet as soon as possible. Continue taking one tablet a day until the pack is finished. If two or more white active tablets are missed, take the last missed tablet as soon as possible. Continue one tablet a day until the pack is finished (one or more missed tablet(s) will remain in the blister pack).
In terms of your overall health, it makes little difference when you stop taking the pill. When you finally do stop the pill, you can expect some bleeding, which may change the rhythm of your menstrual cycle. But you can stop at any time.
According to the CDC, low dose oral contraceptives generally contain 30 micrograms of estrogen or less. Tyblume® contains 20 micrograms of ethinyl estradiol so it is considered a low dose oral contraceptive.
Your healthcare provider will not give you Tyblume® if you have or have had blood clots, a history of heart attack or stroke, high blood pressure that medicine cannot control, breast cancer or any cancer sensitive to female hormones, liver disease or liver tumors, unexplained vaginal bleeding, if you take Hepatitis C drugs containing ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir, with or without dasabuvir, as this may increase levels of liver enzymes in the blood, or if you are or may be pregnant.
Also, do not take birth control pills if you:
Tell your healthcare provider about any medicines and herbal products that you take.
Some medicines and herbal products may make birth control pills less effective, including:
See Tyblume® Patient Information for all drug interactions.
The most common side effects for combination birth control pills like Tyblume® are headache, abdominal pain, nausea, menstrual periods with abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding, vaginal candidiasis and pain, acne, and vaginal inflammation or infection.
Birth control pills containing both estrogen and progestin may increase the risk of serious blood clots, especially in women who have other risk factors, such as smoking, obesity, or are over 35 years old.
A thromboembolic event refers to the development of a blood clot that travels through your body and plugs a different artery in your lungs (causing a pulmonary embolism), your brain (causing a stroke), your kidneys, your gastrointestinal tract or your legs.
Tyblume® is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when used correctly.
