The presence of high levels of triglycerides in the blood has been linked to an increased chance of developing pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas; If you are going to have surgery or if you are going to be immobile for an extended period of time (for further information, read the section on "Blood Clots"): A woman who has just given birth has an increased chance of developing blood clots in her body. You need to inquire with your physician on how soon after delivery you may begin taking Minesse�; In the event that you are suffering from superficial thrombophlebitis, which is an inflammation of the veins just under the skin; If you have varicose veins; If you or a member of your immediate family (parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, etc.) has ever suffered from a condition that has a propensity to lead to the formation of blood clots (in the leg, lung, or elsewhere, or a heart attack or stroke), then you should know the following: If you experienced a skin ailment known as herpes gestationis while pregnant or while taking another type of birth control pill, which led you to experience itching, red patches, and blisters on your skin; If you have ever suffered from blotches of discoloration on your face known as chloasma while pregnant or while using another type of birth control pill.

Take the first pill of Minesse�, which is numbered 1, which is situated next to the word "START"; You should punch a hole in the blank cell that is located in the middle of the blister pack. This cell should match to the day of the week on which you took the first medication. This day will mark the beginning of the production of every new blister pack. Tablets number 8, 15, and 22 with a colored border are to be taken by you on this day of the week as well. This will assist you in determining whether or not you are taking the pills in the appropriate manner; There are 28 pills in each individual blister pack. Always take one tablet at the same time every day, for a total of 28 days in a row, and always follow the direction shown by the arrows as follows: take one pill of the pale yellow active ingredient on each of the first 24 days, and then take one tablet of the placebo on each of the remaining four days; After finishing the final pill, you should immediately begin a new blister pack of Minesse� and continue taking it the next day. There should be no break in between the individual blisters. The day of the week that you choose to begin a fresh blister pack will remain consistent. Because there are no intervals between doses of the drug, it is essential that you have the next blister pack prepared before you have even finished the previous one. The bleeding will often begin two to three days after you have taken the final pale yellow tablet in the blister pack, and it is possible that it will not stop until the next blister pack is started. What should I do if I forget a dose? There is a possibility that you might become pregnant if you neglect to take one of your pills. If you realize that you have missed a pale yellow tablet within 12 hours of the time that you normally take your tablet, take the missed tablet immediately and continue as normal, taking the next tablet at the usual time until the end of the blister pack. If you realize that you have missed a tablet, take the missed tablet immediately and continue as normal. There is a possibility that you might get pregnant if you find out more than 12 hours after the time that you are supposed to take a pale yellow pill that you forgot to take it. In this situation, you should take the missing tablet as soon as you remember it, even if it involves taking two doses on the same day. Continue taking the contraception until the last tablet in the blister pack has been used. In addition, you should use a barrier method of contraception (such as condoms or spermicides) for the following seven days. If this seven-day period continues past the final pale yellow tablet, you should throw away any leftover pills and begin the next blister pack. It is possible that you are pregnant if you have neglected to take one or more light yellow pills that were contained in a blister pack and if you do not experience the predicted bleeding that should begin when taking the white tablets. Even if you forget one or more white pills, you are still protected as long as it has been less than four days since you took the final pale yellow tablet in the previous blister pack and less than four days since you took the first pale yellow tablet in the following blister pack. Consult your primary care provider for guidance. It is the same as forgetting to take a medication if you get severe vomiting or diarrhea within four hours of taking the pill. You are need to take another pill from a reserve blister pack as soon as possible after experiencing nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. If at all feasible, take it no more than 12 hours after you've already had your regular dose of the pill. You should use a barrier form of contraception (condoms, spermicides, etc.) until the beginning of the next blister pack if you experience recurrent bouts of severe vomiting or diarrhea that last for several days. Consult your primary care provider for guidance. What potential negative reactions may I have to this medication?
