Tablets "Jazz": instruction

Contraceptive is ingested by drinking with water. The drug is taken at the same time. Dragee should be taken alternately in the direction of the arrow, which is drawn on an aluminum blister, to avoid confusion. In total, the package contains 28 pills.

Often the menstrual cycle begins on the second or third day after the use of the last active pill, followed by the next four days, drink four pills containing no active substance.

Do not make a break between the old and the new pack of the drug. Receipt of tablets from the new package should be conducted on the next day after the last inactive dragee in the old pack is finished, even though the critical days have not yet ended. As a result, a new package of contraceptive hormones will always begin at the same numbers, and the monthly will go on approximately the same day of the calendar.

The first package of the contraceptive "Jazz Plus"

Tablets (reviews say about their good contraceptive effect) should be taken from the first day of menstruation. On this day you need to drink a pills corresponding to a particular day of the week. It is allowed to use the drug on the 2-5th day of the cycle, but in this case the degree of contraceptive reliability Will not be at the proper height and will require additional protection throughout the first week.

If the transition to this drug is carried out with combined oral means, vaginal ring or contraceptive patch, the hormone tablets "Jazz" should be drunk the next day after the last pill is taken from the old package. In this case, there will not be a break between taking the tablets. If in the previous medicinal preparation, as in this, dragees are provided without the active substance, then the "Jazz" reception should begin the day after the last active pill of the previous medicine was consumed. "Jazz plus", tablets (the instruction is attached to them), can be consumed a little later, but not later than the day of the last pill without the active substance.

When using the vaginal ring, the contraceptive patch, the drug should be taken on the day of removal of the ring or patch, but not later than the day of the replacement of the contraceptive. If all the rules are followed, there is no need for additional security measures.

If previously used to protect a non-oral oral preparation containing only progestogen (mini-pili), then after stopping its intake, you can begin taking the tablets "Jazz" the very next day. The only thing, during the first week, will need to resort to additional contraception.

If the transition to "Jazz" (contraceptive pills) comes with injections to prevent unwanted pregnancy, an implant, or with a helper-releasing spiral, then the dragee should be taken on the day that the next injecting contraceptive is to be introduced and in the first week after the removal of the spiral ). In the same period, additional measures of protection should be used.

Often appoint doctors to women after giving birth a tool called "Jazz Plus". Testimonies indicate that it is also healing. But you can take it only after the complete end of the first cycle. If there are prescriptions of a specialist, then it can be used earlier.

When breastfeeding, after an abortion or a miscarriage, the possibility of taking the drug should be discussed with a gynecologist.

What does the Jazz packaging say?

Information on the package helps to make the correct use of the drug "Jazz". It contains 24 tablets plus four in the last row - placebo. All dragees are enclosed in an aluminum blister. In the box there is a calendar with adhesive tape, allowing you to monitor the days of taking the drug.

Before taking pills, you need to select a strip with the appropriate day of the week and use it, pasting it on the packaging in a position that the arrow "starter" looks at it.

This functional solution will allow you to see the day of the week when you should take the pill, and will not let you miss the next one.

Discontinuation of reception and missed tablets

If desired, and at the indications at any time, you can stop taking a contraceptive "Jazz Plus". Tablets, reviews of which are quite impressive, should be excluded when planning pregnancy. In this case, you must wait for the first natural monthly. If the medication is stopped for some other reason, you should consult your doctor about analogues or other methods of contraception.

If the drug is missed, inactive tablets are not taken into account, but they should be discarded to avoid the error of prolonging the period of inactive pills. The non-absorbing active tablet from the period from the 1st to the 24th day with a delay of 12-36 hours does not cancel the contraceptive effect, but at the first opportunity it will be necessary to take the medicine. Delay of more than 12-36 hours significantly reduces the contraceptive effect of the drug "Jazz". And the more pills are missed, the closer is the period of intake of inactive dragees and there is a high probability of fertilization.

If you missed the medication from the 1st to the 7th day of the cycle, you need to take a pill at the first memory of it, even if you have to drink two pills at once. In the future, you should take the pill in the usual way. During the whole of the following week, additional contraception should be used.

The missed pill in the phase from the 8th to the 14th day is drunk immediately, as soon as a woman remembers it, even if two pills have to be drunk at the same time. Then the drug is taken in the same regime. The need for additional contraception is eliminated, provided that the drug was taken according to the scheme for seven days prior to the missed active tablet. If there was a previous fact of skipping the drug, additional contraceptive measures should be used.

A missed appointment during the period from the 15th to the 24th day represents a rather high risk of unwanted pregnancy. If during the week preceding the missed day, all the pills were taken correctly, then you can not use additional contraception. Otherwise, additional precautions should be taken throughout the following week. The tablet should in any case be drunk at the first opportunity, even if you have to drink two pills at a time. The remaining active tablets are used strictly on schedule, while inactive ones are discarded. There is a sharp transition to active pills from the new package. At this time, spotting spotting can be observed. Bleeding does not occur until the end of the second packet.

You can temporarily stop taking pills, but not more than four days. This includes the days of skipping the drug. Continue taking the tablets from the new package.
