How do I take Introvale?

If you are just starting to use this type of hormonal birth control, take the first pill in the pack the first Sunday after your period begins. Continue to take one pill per day at the same time every day. The first 84 pills in the packet are active, meaning they contain female hormones, and the last 7 are inactive ‘reminder’ pills, which don’t contain hormones. You should get your period during the week you take the inactive pills. Always start a new pack of Introvale the day after you take the last inactive pill; be sure to refill your prescription before you run out so that you don’t miss any days.

What if I forget to take a dose of Introvale?

If you miss one active pill, take it as soon as you remember, even if that means taking two pills in the same day. If you miss two active pills in a row, take two pills for the next two days, and then resume your regular dosing schedule. If you miss three active pills, skip them and continue taking one pill per day to finish the package. If you miss two or more active pills, use a backup form of birth control for at least seven days. If you miss any inactive pills, throw them away.

Overdosing on Introvale may cause abnormal vaginal bleeding or severe nausea and vomiting. If you believe that you or someone in your household has overdosed, call Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) to find out what to do.
