Indications of Femicon
Oral contraceptives are prescribed to prevent pregnancy in women who choose to take them as a method of contraception. Oral contraceptives have a high success rate. Except for sterilization, the IUD, and implants, the efficiency of these contraceptive techniques is determined by how well they are utilized. Lower failure rates can be achieved by using methods correctly and consistently.
Pharmacology
The inhibition of gonadotropins is how combination oral contraceptives (COC) work. Although ovulation inhibition is the primary mechanism, additional changes in the cervical mucus (which makes sperm entry into the uterus more difficult) and the endometrium are also involved (which reduces the likelihood of implantation).
Dosage & Administration
To achieve maximum contraceptive effectiveness, Norgestrel & Ethinyl Estradiol, and ferrous fumarate must be taken exactly as directed and at intervals not exceeding 24 hours. The possibility of ovulation and conception prior to the initiation of medication should be considered. The dosage of Norgestrel & Ethinyl Estradiol and ferrous fumarate is one white tablet daily for 21 consecutive days, followed by one brown tablet daily for 7 consecutive days, according to the prescribed schedule. It is recommended that tablets be taken at the same time each day.
Interaction of Femicon
Antibiotics, anticonvulsants, and medications that may enhance contraceptive steroids clearance reduce contraceptive efficacy (e.g. bosentan, rifampicin, rifabutin, barbiturates, primidone, phenytoin, carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, topiramate, griseofulvin, aprepitant). Troleandomycin might cause severe pruritus and jaundice, therefore don't take it at the same time. Ursodeoxycholic acid's efficacy was reduced as bile cholesterol elimination increased. Concurrent use of danazol or gestrinone with hormonal contraceptives may modify or lessen their effects, therefore avoid it.
Decreased contraceptive effectiveness with anti-HIV protease inhibitors. Increased tacrolimus levels with ethinyl estradiol. May increase theophylline, selegiline and tizanidine levels with oral contraceptives.

Pregnancy & Lactation
Infants born to women who used oral contraceptives prior to pregnancy have no increased risk of birth abnormalities, according to extensive epidemiological studies. When ingested accidentally during early pregnancy, studies show no teratogenic effect, notably in terms of heart anomalies and limb-reduction deficits.
Oral contraceptive treatment to cause withdrawal bleeding should not be utilized as a pregnancy test. Oral contraceptives should not be used to treat threatening or habitual abortion during pregnancy.
If a patient has missed two consecutive periods, it is suggested that pregnancy be ruled out before continuing oral contraceptive medication. If the patient hasn't been following the prescribed schedule, the potential of pregnancy should be explored when the first period is missing. If pregnancy is confirmed, oral contraceptive use should be stopped.
