Side Effects
Some temporary, but usually minor, reactions include:
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Breast tenderness
- Irregular Bleeding
- Headache or Dizziness
Should vomiting occur within 3 hours of taking a dose, then insufficient hormones may have been absorbed to provide the full contraceptive cover and an additional dose should be taken. Measures that may help to prevent nausea or vomiting include:
- Take the pills with food.
- Take Dramamine or Bonine an hour before taking the pills, if you are especially sensitive to or bothered by nausea—however, this step is not necessary.
- Schedule your doses so that you take the second dose before bed.

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or effects:
“To be able to see every side of every question;
To be on every side, to be everything, to be nothing long;
To pervert truth, to ride it for a purpose,
To use great feelings and passions of the human family
For base designs, for cunning ends;”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
“Corporate America will likely be motivated to support child care when it can be shown to have positive effects on that which management is concerned about—recruitment, retention and productivity. Indeed, employers relate to child care as a way to provide growth fostering environments for young managers.”
—Dana E. Friedman (20th century)
