When starting later than this the woman should be advised to additionally use a barrier contraceptive method for the first 7 days of tablet taking. However if intercourse has already occurred pregnancy should be excluded before starting FEMODENE 28 or the woman has to wait for her first menstrual period.Management of Missed TabletsErrors in taking the non-hormonal tablets contained in FEMODENE 28 can be ignored. However they should be discarded to avoid unintentionally prolonging the placebo tablet phase. The following advice only refers to missed non-hormonal tablets:If the user is less than 12 hours late in taking any hormonal tablet contraceptive protection is not reduced. The woman should take the tablet as soon as she remembers and should take subsequent tablets at the usual time.If she is more than 12 hours late in taking any hormonal tablet contraceptive protection may be reduced.There is a particularly high risk of pregnancy if tablets are missed just before or immediately after taking the non-hormonal tablets. If tablets are missed in the first week of taking hormonal tablets following the non-hormonal tablets and intercourse took place in the preceding 7 days the possibility of pregnancy should be considered.The management of missed tablets can be guided by the following two basic rules:Tablet taking must never be discontinued for longer than 7 days. Seven days of uninterrupted tablet taking are required to attain adequate suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. These rules form the basis of the instructions to patients provided in the package insert.
