Precautions related to efficacy or effect
- Consider administration of this drug when it is considered inappropriate to administer other oral contraceptives. There are reports suggesting that it increases the relative risk of venous thrombosis compared to oral contraceptives such as levonorgestrel.
- It has been reported that the failure rate in general use including forgetting to take the oral contraceptive for one year is 9%.
Usage and dosage
- <21 tablet formulation>
Oral administration of 1 tablet daily at a fixed time for a total of 21 consecutive days, followed by a 7-day rest period. Repeatedly administer during the contraceptive period in a similar manner.
- <28 tablets>
One tablet daily is orally administered at a fixed time for 21 consecutive days, followed by green tablets for 7 consecutive days, for a total of 28 consecutive days. From the next cycle onward, administration will be continued from white tablets regardless of the presence or absence of withdrawal bleeding, and administration will be continued for 28 days. Therefore, no drug holiday will be taken from the start of administration in the first cycle. Menstruation (withdrawal bleeding) usually occurs while taking green tablets.
Precautions related to usage and dosage
- Take at a fixed time every day.
- Start date
When taking an oral contraceptive for the first time, start taking it on the first day of menstruation. If you start taking the medicine later than the first day of menstruation, you may become pregnant, so use other contraceptive methods for the first week of taking the medicine. - When administering this drug, give sufficient guidance on how to take it so that you do not forget to take it. In the unlikely event that you miss a dose (excluding the 28 green tablets), if you notice it by the next day, take the missed tablet immediately and have the tablet for that day taken as usual. If you miss a dose for 2 consecutive days or more, stop taking the drug, wait for the next menstruation, and resume administration.
If you miss a dose, you are more likely to become pregnant, so use another contraceptive method for that cycle. - When switching from other oral contraceptives to this drug
- When switching from 21-tablet type oral contraceptives Take
all the drugs you were taking before, and after a 7-day rest period, start taking this drug continuously. If you are late in taking the drug, you may be pregnant. - When switching from 28-tablet type oral contraceptives
After taking all the drugs that were taken before, start taking this drug continuously. If you are late in taking the drug, you may be pregnant.

Hypoglycemic agent
|
The action of hypoglycemic agents may be diminished. Carefully observe the blood glucose level and other conditions of the patient, and be careful to adjust the dose of hypoglycemic agent. | This drug is thought to reduce glucose tolerance and diminish the action of hypoglycemic agents. |
| Lamotrigine | Since it has been reported that the blood concentration of lamotrigine decreased when used in combination with an oral contraceptive, the dose adjustment of lamotrigine should be considered when starting or discontinuing the administration of this drug during the maintenance dose of lamotrigine. | Glucuronic acid conjugation of lamotrigine in the liver is promoted. |

Impact on laboratory test results
Increases in serum proteins (corticoid-binding globulin, thyroxine-binding globulin, etc.) due to the action of the contained ethinyl estradiol may increase total cortisol, total T 3 , and total T 4 . Moreover, it is said that these free forms do not change. Be careful when determining these test values.
Precautions for application
Precautions when delivering drugs
Instruct them to take the medicine in the PTP package from the PTP sheet and take it. Accidental ingestion of the PTP sheet may cause a hard sharp corner to pierce the esophageal mucosa and further cause perforation, resulting in serious complications such as mediastinitis.
Other notes
Information based on clinical use
- As a result of epidemiological studies in foreign countries, it is reported that the risk of venous thrombosis is 3.25 to 4.0 times higher in women who take oral contraceptives than in women who do not. It has also been reported that the risk of venous thrombosis is highest during the first year of taking oral contraceptives. In addition, as a result of a large-scale post-marketing surveillance in a foreign country, not only when the oral contraceptive was first started, but also when the drug was resumed after a discontinuation of 4 weeks or more, or another oral contraceptive after a discontinuation of 4 weeks or more. It has been reported that the risk of venous thrombosis also increases when switching to, and the risk is particularly high for 3 months after the start of administration.
In addition, a report suggesting that oral contraceptives containing desogestrel from 1995 to 1996 increase the relative risk of venous thrombosis compared to oral contraceptives such as levonorgestrel (oral contraceptives such as levonorgestrel). There is 1 in 10,000 patients with venous thrombosis per year, compared to 2 with oral contraceptives containing desogestrel). By the way, it is said that the incidence of venous thrombosis due to pregnancy is 6 per 10,000 people in one year. - As a result of epidemiological studies in foreign countries, it has been reported that taking oral contraceptives increases the possibility of developing breast cancer and cervical cancer.
- It has been reported that benign liver tumors occur in 3.4 per 100,000 people when oral contraceptives are taken in foreign countries for 2 years or more. In addition, rupture of the tumor may cause intra-abdominal hemorrhage. On the other hand, the incidence of malignant liver tumor (liver cancer) is extremely low, less than 1 in 1 million.
- In foreign countries, it has been reported that taking oral contraceptives worsened systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), anaphylaxis-like symptoms, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and angioedema.
- In foreign countries, it has been reported that contact lenses are not adjusted well due to changes in corneal thickness due to taking oral contraceptives, resulting in changes in visual acuity and visual field, and discomfort when wearing.
Pharmacokinetics
Blood concentration
When orally administered to healthy adult women, absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is rapid, and serum concentrations of the active metabolites 3-keto-desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol reach their maximum about 2 hours after administration. In addition, when repeated doses were administered, the serum concentrations of 3-keto-desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol reached a steady state on approximately 15 days, and the elimination phase half-lives after 21 days were 22.0 and 23.7 hours, respectively.

Efficacy and safety testing
Domestic clinical trials
In a clinical study conducted on 992 women who wished to contraceptive, one pregnancy was determined to be drug-induced, with a contraceptive effect of 99.9% and a Pearl index of 0.085 during the total dosing cycle (14,088 cycles). ..
Of the 1,011 women (14,378 cycles) who wished to contraceptive, side effects were reported in 258 (25.5%), mainly nausea in 119 (11.8%) and breast pain in 85 (8.4%). , Headache 59 cases (5.8%), irregular organ bleeding 24 cases (2.4%), vomiting 23 cases (2.3%), malaise 12 cases (1.2%), diarrhea 11 cases (1.1%), abdominal pain 10 cases (1.0%) )Met.

Pharmacology
Mechanism of action
This drug has an ovulation-suppressing effect as its main effect, and exerts a contraceptive effect by inhibiting implantation due to changes in the endometrium and inhibiting sperm passage due to changes in cervical mucus.
Ovulation inhibitory effect
By taking this drug continuously, the luteal and estrogen levels in the blood are kept constant. As a result, the physiological pattern of anterior pituitary gonadotropin secretion is inhibited, and ovulation is suppressed by reducing gonadotropin secretion.
Implantation inhibitory effect due to changes in the properties of the endometrium
Continuous administration of this drug changes the properties of the endometrium, resulting in inhibition of implantation of fertilized eggs.
Inhibition of sperm passage by changes in cervical mucus
Continuous administration of this drug causes changes in the properties and composition of cervical mucus, which impedes the passage of sperm into the uterine cavity.
