How to take
The Diane 35 should be taken as follows:
- Start a Diane 35 chart from the 1st day of menstruation;
- Take 1 tablet daily, at about the same time with water;
- Follow the direction of the arrows, following the order of the days of the week, until taking all 21 dragees;
- Take a 7 day break. During this period, about 2 to 3 days after the last pill is ingested, bleeding similar to menstruation should occur;
- Start new card on the 8th day, even if there is still bleeding.
This is the correct way to take the pill prescribed by your doctor.
What to do if you forget to take
If forgetfulness is less than 12 hours from the usual time, you should take the forgotten tablet as soon as you remember and the rest at the usual time, even if you have to take two pills on the same day. In this case, the contraceptive effect of the pill is maintained.
If the forgetfulness is greater than 12 hours of the usual time, the contraceptive effect of the pill is diminished. See more details on What to do if you forget to take the Diane 35.
