IF YOU FORGET TO TAKE PROGYNOVA
If you forget to take a tablet at your usual time and you are less
than 12 hours late, take it as soon as possible. Take the next tablet
at the usual time.
If you are more than 12 hours late, leave the forgotten tablet in the
pack. Continue to take the rest of the tablets at the usual time every
day. You may experience breakthrough bleeding.
IF YOU STOP TAKING PROGYNOVA
You may begin to feel the usual symptoms of menopause again,
which may include hot flushes, trouble sleeping, nervousness,
dizziness or vaginal dryness. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if
you want to stop taking Progynova tablets.
IF YOU NEED TO HAVE SURGERY
If you are going to have surgery, tell the surgeon that you are taking
Progynova. You may need to stop taking Progynova about 4 to 6
weeks before the operation to reduce the risk of a blood clot (see
section 2, “Blood clots in a vein (thrombosis)”). Ask your doctor
when you can start taking Progynova again.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask
your doctor or pharmacist.
