They are one of the most reliable reversible methods of contraception
if used correctly.

and arteries, especially in the
first year or when restarting a combined hormonal contraceptive
following a break of 4 or more
weeks.
•
Please be alert and see your doctor if you think you may have symptoms
of a blood clot (see
section 2 “Blood clots”).

The decision to prescribe IOA should take into consideration the

the risk of VTE with IOA
compares with other CHCs (see sections 4.3 and 4.4).

One tablet is to be taken daily for 28 consecutive days. Each pack
starts with 24 white active tablets,
followed by 4 yellow placebo tablets. A subsequent pack is started
immediately after finishing the
previous pack, without a break in daily tablet intake and irrespective
of presence or absence of
withdrawal bleeding. Withdrawal bleeding usually starts on day 2-3
after intake of the last white tablet
and may not have finished before the next pack is started. See
