28 Precautions
Before you take
this medication, tell your doctor your entire medical history, including
family medical history, especially: asthma, high blood pressure,
kidney disease, liver heart disease, stroke, history of jaundice
(yellowing skin/eyes) or high blood pressure during pregnancy, excessive
weight gain or fluid retention during menstrual cycle, blood clots,
heart attack, seizures, migraine headaches, breast cancer, high

Depending on strength, this drug may cause a patchy, darkening of
the skin on the face (melasma). Higher strengths are more likely
to cause melasma. Sunlight may intensify this darkening and you
may need to avoid prolonged sun exposure and sunlamps. Consult your
doctor regarding use of sunscreens and protective clothing. It may
take a long time for you to become pregnant after you stop taking
birth control pills. Consult your doctor. Do not smoke cigarettes.
Birth-control pills slightly increase your risk of strokes, blood
clots, high blood pressure, heart attacks, gallbladder disease,
vision problems, and liver tumors. Cigarette smoking (especially
15 or more cigarettes daily) and age (women older than 35/smokers
or 40/nonsmokers years of age) further increase the risk of stroke,
blood clots, high blood pressure and heart attacks. Ask your pharmacist
or doctor for a copy of the patient labeling which explains these
risks in more detail. Consult your doctor for any questions, including
possible use in nonsmokers over 40 years of age. If you are near-sighted
or wear contact lenses, you may develop vision problems. Also, your
tolerance of the lenses may decrease. Contact your eye doctor if
these problems occur. Before having surgery, including dental surgery,
tell the doctor that you take birth control pills. This drug must
not be used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant or think you
may be pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. This medication
passes into breast milk. This may affect milk production and may
have harmful effects on a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before
breast-feeding.
