Drug information provided by: Merative, Micromedex®
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure this medicine is working properly and does not cause unwanted effects.
Although you are using this medicine to prevent pregnancy, you should know that using this medicine while you are pregnant could harm your unborn baby. If you think you have become pregnant while using this medicine, call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor if you recently had a baby, miscarriage, or abortion.
This medicine may cause urinary tract infections, including cystitis (bladder infection) or pyelonephritis (kidney infection), which can be serious. Check with your doctor right away if you have difficult, burning, or painful urination, cloudy urine, or lower back or side pain.
This medicine will not protect you from getting HIV infection or other sexually transmitted diseases. If this is a concern for you, talk with your doctor.
You may use another form of birth control (eg, condom, diaphragm) for added protection against pregnancy. You may also use this medicine with other products for vaginal infections (eg, metronidazole, miconazole, or tioconazole).
No contraceptive method is 100 percent effective. Birth control methods such as having surgery to become sterile or not having sex are more effective than vaginal systems. Discuss your options for birth control with your doctor.
