Adults: The recommended dosage of Drospirenone + Estetrol is one tablet daily for 28 consecutive days. Take one pink active tablet daily at the same time during the first 24 days, then one white inactive tablet daily during the 4 following days.
Instruction for missed doses
If one pink active tablet is missed, take it as soon as possible and take the next tablet at the scheduled time, even if that means two active tablets in one day. Continue taking one tablet a day until the pack is finished.
If two or more pink active tablets are missed in Week 1 or Week 2, take one of the missed tablets as soon as possible, then take the tablet for the current day (that means two tablets in one day). Discard the other missed tablets. Continue taking one tablet a day until the pack is finished. Use additional non-hormonal contraception as back-up until pink tablets have been taken for 7 consecutive days.
If two pink active tablets are missed in Week 3, take one of the missed tablets as soon as possible, then take the tablet for the current day (that means two tablets in one day). Discard the other missed tablets. Finish the active tablets and discard the inactive tablets in the pack, then start a new pack the next day. Use additional non-hormonal contraception as back-up until pink tablets have been taken for 7 consecutive days.
If one or more white inert tablets are missed, skip the missed pill days and continue taking one tablet a day until the pack is finished.
Administration recommendations after vomiting or acute diarrhea
If vomiting or acute diarrhea occurs within 3 to 4 hours after taking an active tablet, take the new active tablet (the one scheduled for the next day) as soon as possible. If you can, take it within 12 hours of the usual time of tablet-taking. If more than two tablets are missed, follow the advice for missed tablets, including the use of back-up non-hormonal contraception.
