Safyral Coupon & Discounts

How do I take Safyral?

If you have not taken Safyral before, take the first pill in the packet the first Sunday following the start of your menstrual period. Take one pill at the same time every day, in the order they are placed in the packet so that you are taking the inactive reminder pills on the fourth week. If you have an easily upset stomach, take this medication after eating. If you are not switching from another hormonal birth control, you will need to use back-up contraception (such as a condom) for 7 days.

What if I forget to take a dose of Safyral?

You must take Safyral on a daily basis in order for it to be most effective in preventing pregnancy. Review the instructions on the product package to determine what to do if you miss a dose, and contact your doctor if you have missed multiple doses. After missing a dose, you may need to use a back-up method of birth control for several weeks.
