Ethinylestradiol
uses: |
|
Take your
medication exactly as directed by your doctor.
Always read the
manufacturer's information leaflet, if possible, before
beginning treatment.
Try to take this
medicine at the same time each day to avoid missing any
doses. If you miss a dose, take it a soon as you remember
and continue taking it at the usual times. If it is nearly
time for your next dose, leave out the missed dose; never
take two doses at the same time to compensate. If in doubt
speak to your pharmacist or doctor.
Never take more
than the prescribed dose. If you suspect that you or someone
else has taken an overdose of ethinylestradiol contact your
doctor or go to the accident and emergency department of
your local hospital at once. Always take the container with
you, if possible, even if empty.
This medicine is
for you. Never give it to others even if their condition

Precautions |
|
Eat a
well-balanced diet including fresh fruit, vegetables, bread,
cereals, milk, dairy produce, lean meat, poultry, fish,
eggs, pulses and nuts. If you do not get enough calcium from
your diet, your doctor may recommend that you take calcium
supplements.
Do not smoke.
Do not drink more
than the recommended units of alcohol.
Take regular
exercise and choose an activity during which you use your
bones to support your body weight such as aerobics, weight
lifting or tennis. Although swimming helps to keep muscles
and heart strong and healthily, it does not strengthen your
bones because your body weight is supported by water. You
should also choose a sport, which uses the whole of your
body.
Unless advised
otherwise, spend sometime each day out in the sunshine.
Ultraviolet light helps our body produce vitamin D, which
helps the body absorb calcium. |
