Missed pill: pill needs to be taken at same time of day. There is only 3
hour window period for missed pills. Contraception efficacy is restored after 2 days as compared to COC Cerazette- has a 12 hour window period. Vomiting within 2 hrs or severe diarrhoea decreases efficacy. Starting regimes- same as COC however additional method is needed for only 48hrs Drug interactions- Pop not affected by broad spectrum abx. However enzyme inducing drugs reduces efficacy.
Take missed pill as soon as possible, Take rest of packet as normal And use extra precautions for the next 2 days
Take missed pill as soon as possible and continue with packet as normal
Take missed pill as soon as possible, take the rest of the packet as normal. Use extra precautions until pills taken for 2 consecutive days
hours of taking pill then absorption will be reduced and may be ineffective. Diarrhoea alone without vomiting has to be severe to reduce the absorption of the pill.

POPs: Limitations
Cause changes in menstrual bleeding pattern Some weight gain or loss may occur User-dependent (require continued motivation and daily use) Must be taken at the same time every day Forgetfulness increases method failure Resupply must be available Effectiveness may be lowered when certain drugs for epilepsy (phenytoin and barbiturates) or tuberculosis (rifampin) are taken Do not protect against STDs (e.g., HBV, HIV/AIDS)

These symptoms are not dangerous and gradually disappear. Certain drugs (rifampin and most anti-epilepsy drugs) may reduce effectiveness of POPs. Tell your provider if you start any new drugs.

Pharmacokinetics
Serum peak: 1 2 hrs
Half-Life: 5 14 hrs Rapid decrease in effects after 20 hrs Considered missed dose if > 3 hrs late Metabolism: hepatic Excretion: urine
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to norethindrone or other
components of pill Undiagnosed vaginal bleeding Severe hepatic disease Breast CA Pregnancy
Administration
Start on first day of menses One pill daily - No placebo pills Same time every day very important** Use backup method until 1st pack is completed One missed dose (> 3 hrs) Take ASAP & resume schedule Use backup method for 48 hrs Multiple missed doses Consider alternative contraceptive method
Efficacy
Perfect Use 99% 0.5 pregnancies per 100 women Typical Use 92% 3 pregnancies per 100 women Discontinuation Rate of
Prescriptive Purposes
Oral Contraception Estrogen contraindications Emergency contraception Postpartum/post-abortion Lactation considerations
Estrogen Contraindications
Cardiovascular risk factors HTN (up to stage 1), smokers, obestiy (class 1) Hx MI, CVA, DVT, PE, HTN (stage 2 & 3) hyperlipidemia (class 2) Presence of venous thromboembolism (class 3) Estrogen triggered migraines Hypersensitivity to estrogen Postpartum women
Emergency Contraception
Plan B: levonorgestrel 1.5 mg po once
Mechanism of action Delays or blunts LH surge and, therefore, ovulation is delayed or prevented Does not terminate existing pregnancy** FDA approved behind the counter access to women
Postpartum
Ovulation may occur 25
Post-abortion
Ovulation may occur 14
days after birth Women are at risk for venous thrombosis POPs may be started immediately (class 3) or up to 6 weeks postpartum (class 1) Lactation considerations exist
days after 1st trimester abortion/miscarriage Women at increased risk for venous thrombosis POPs may be started immediately or within 2 weeks (class 1)
Lactation Considerations
Lactation delays ovulation Anovulation most likely with Exclusive breastfeeding < 6 mo postpartum Amenorrhea POPs preferred OCP Does not seem to affect milk composition/quantity No apparent impact on infant
Lactation Considerations
Timing of postpartum POP initiation still under
debate
Effects on lactation Effects on infant
Manufacturer's initiation recommendations 6 weeks postpartum if breastfeeding only 3 weeks postpartum if breastfeeding & using formula
