To achieve therapeutic effect and ensure the necessary contraception should take the drug Modell® PYUR regularly.If any other hormonal contraceptive drug has been used before the MODEL® PYUR drug has been taken, its administration should be discontinued. Dosage regimen MODELLE® PYUR coincides with the dosing regimen of most combined oral contraceptives (PDA). Thus, the acceptance of the MODEL® PYUR product is subject to the rules for accepting other PDAs. Irregular intake of MODEL® PYUR can lead to acyclic bleeding, a decrease in the therapeutic effect and contraceptive effectiveness. With proper application, the Pearl index is approximately 1.
Modell® PIUR tablets should be taken orally in the order given on the package, every day at about the same time, with a small amount of water. Take one tablet a day continuously for 21 days. Receiving the pill from the next package begins after a 7-day break in taking the tablets, during which the bleeding of "cancellation" usually takes place. Bleeding, as a rule, begins on day 2-3 after the last pill and may not end before taking pills from a new package.
How to start taking MODEL® PIUR
- In the absence of taking any hormonal contraceptive drugs in the previous month.
The medication MODELL® PYUR begins on the first day of the menstrual cycle (ie on the first day of menstrual bleeding).
It is allowed to start taking the menstrual cycle on day 2-5, in which case it is recommended to additionally use the barrier method of contraception during the first 7 days of taking the tablets from the first package.
- When switching from other PDAs, vaginal rings or contraceptive patches.
It is preferable to start taking MODEL® PIUR on the day after taking the last active tablet from the previous package, but in no case later than the day after the usual 7-day break (for preparations containing 21 tablets) or after taking the last inactive tablet (for preparations containing 28 tablets in a package).
The method of MODEL® PYUR should be taken on the day of removal of the vaginal ring or patch, but no later than the day when a new ring is to be inserted or a new patch is stuck.
- When switching from contraceptive drugs,containing only gestagens ("mini-pili", injection forms, implant), or with the releasing progestogen of the intrauterine therapeutic system (Mirena).
It is possible to switch from a mini-drink to the MODEL® PIUR product on any day (without interruption), from an implant or intrauterine contraceptive with gestagen - on the day of its removal, from the injection form - from the day the next injection is to be made. In all cases, it is necessary to use an additional barrier method of contraception during the first 7 days of taking the tablets.
- After abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy.
A woman can start taking the drug immediately - on the day of the abortion. If this condition is met, the woman does not need additional contraceptive protection.
- After childbirth or abortion in the second trimester of pregnancy.
You should start taking the drug no earlier than 21-28 days after giving birth in the absence of breastfeeding or after an abortion in the second trimester of pregnancy. If the reception is started later, it is necessary to use an additional barrier method of contraception during the first 7 days of taking the tablets. However, during sexual intercourse before the start of the MODEL® PYUR medication it is necessary to exclude pregnancy or wait for the first menstruation.
Acceptance of missed tablets
If the delay in taking the drug was less than 12 hours, the contraceptive protection is not reduced. A woman should take the pill as soon as possible, the next one is taken at the usual time.
If the delay in taking the tablets is more than 12 hours, the contraceptive protection may decrease. The more pills are missed and the closer the pass to a 7-day break in taking pills, the greater the probability of pregnancy.
In this case, you can follow the following two basic rules:
- The drug should never be discontinued for more than 7 days.
- To achieve adequate suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian regulation, 7 days of continuous tablet intake are required.
Accordingly, the following recommendations can be given if the delay in taking the tablets was more than 12 hours (the interval from the time of taking the last tablet is more than 36 hours):
- The first week of taking the drug
The woman should take the last missed tablet as soon as possible, as soon as she remembers (even if it means taking two tablets at the same time). The next tablet is taken at the usual time. In addition, a barrier method of contraception (for example, a condom) should be used for the next 7 days.If sexual intercourse took place within a week before skipping tablets, it is necessary to consider the likelihood of pregnancy.
- The second week of taking the drug
The woman should take the last missed tablet as soon as possible, as soon as she remembers (even if it means taking two tablets at the same time). The following tablets are taken at the usual time.
Provided that the woman took the pill correctly for 7 days preceding the first missed pill, there is no need for additional contraceptive measures. Otherwise, as well as when two or more tablets are missed, barrier methods of contraception (for example, a condom) should be used additionally within 7 days.
- The third week of taking the drug
The risk of pregnancy is increased due to the upcoming pause in taking the tablets, however, if all the pills were taken correctly within 7 days preceding the first missed tablet, there is no need to use additional contraceptive methods.
1. A woman should take the last missed pill as soon as possible,as soon as it remembers (even if it means taking two pills at the same time). The next tablet is taken at the usual time, until the tablets from the current package run out. The next package should be started immediately. Bleeding "cancellation" is unlikely until the tablets from the second package run out, but there may be "smearing" discharge and "breakthrough" bleeding during the taking of tablets.
2. A woman can also interrupt the taking of tablets from the current package. She then needs to take a break for 7 days, including the day the tablet is missed, and then start taking the tablets out of the new package.
If a woman misses taking pills, and then during a break in admission she does not have a bleeding "withdrawal", it is necessary to exclude pregnancy.
Recommendations for gastrointestinal disorders
In the case of vomiting or diarrhea in the period up to 4 hours after taking the pill, absorption may be incomplete, therefore additional measures should be taken to protect against unwanted pregnancy. In such cases, you should focus on the above recommendations when skipping tablets.
Change in the day of menstrual bleeding
In order to delay the onset of menstrual bleeding, a woman should continue taking the tablets from a new package of MODEL® PIURE immediately after taking all the pills from the previous one without taking a break. Tablets from this new package can be taken for as long as the woman wishes (until the package is finished). Against the background of taking the drug from the second package, a woman may notice "spotting" bloody discharge or "breakthrough" uterine bleeding. Resume the reception of MODEL® PYUR from the new pack after a usual 7-day break.
In order to transfer the day of the onset of menstrual bleeding to another day of the week, the woman should be recommended to shorten the nearest break in taking the pills for as many days as she wants. The shorter the interval, the higher the risk that it will not have the bleeding of "cancellation", and thereafter there will be "smearing" discharge and "breakthrough" bleeding during taking the tablets from the second package (just as in case she would like delay the onset of menstrual bleeding).
Duration of application
The duration of the MODEL® PYUR treatment for the treatment of androgen-dependent diseases (such as acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, alopecia) depends on the severity of the symptoms of androgenation and the response to treatment. Basically, the treatment is carried out for several months. The answer to the treatment of acne and seborrhea usually occurs faster than the response to the treatment of hirsutism or alopecia.
It is recommended to take the drug at least 3-4 courses after the disappearance of signs of the disease. In case of recurrence of the disease in a few weeks or months after stopping the taking of tablets, treatment with MODEL® PYUR can be resumed. If the drug is resumed (after a four-week break or more), an increased risk of VTE should be taken into account (see also "Special instructions" and "With caution").
