PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets are indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use oral contraceptives as a method of contraception. Oral contraceptives are highly effective. Table I lists the typical accidental pregnancy rates for users of combination oral contraceptives and other methods of contraception. The efficacy of these contraceptive methods, except sterilization, depends upon the reliability with which they are used. Correct and consistent use of methods can result in lower failure rates. % of Women Experiencing an Unintended Pregnancy in the First Year of Continuous Use Method Lowest Expected* Typical** (No contraception) (85) (85) Oral contraceptives 3 combined 0.1 N/A *** progestin only 0.5 N/A *** Diaphragm with spermicidal cream or jelly 6 20 Spermicides alone (foam, creams, gels, vaginal suppositories and vaginal film) 6 26 Vaginal Sponge nulliparous 9 20 parous 20 40 Implant 0.05 0.05 Inj
