Belara Brand 0.03mg / 2mg 63 Tablets

Description

Belara (ethinylestradiol + chlormadinone) is an oral contraceptive. It combines an estrogen medication (ethinylestradiol) with a progestin (chlormadinone). This is known as a monophasic contraceptive because all the tablets contain the same strength, unlike other oral contraceptives that vary in strength according to the day of the monthly ovarian cycle that they will be taken.

Dosage

Follow the doctor’s instructions. The standard procedure is to take the first tablet on the first day of menstruation. For the next 20 days, take one tablet each day, following the sequence of the arrows that are printed on the backs of the pill sheets. At the end of three weeks, no tablets should be taken for 7 days. It is normal for menstruation to start 2–4 days after the last tablet was taken. After the 7-day break, the cycle starts again with a new pack of Belara, on the same day of the week as the previous first dose.

If a dose was missed, it can be taken within a few hours on the same day, but if more than 12 hours have passed, the degree of the protection in the current cycle is diminished. The missed dose must be discarded, and it is advisable to use additional non-hormonal contraception to supplement the protection.
