    Dosage

    Regular daily intake of tablets for 21 consecutive days is important for the preservation of contraceptive efficacy. Tablets must be taken in the order directed on the package every day at about the same time with some liquid as needed.
    One tablet is to be taken daily for 21 consecutive days. Each subsequent pack is started after a 7-day tablet-free interval during which time a withdrawal bleed occurs. This usually starts on day 2-3 after the last tablet and may not have finished before the next pack is started.
