What is Elyfem

Preventing pregnancy. It may be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Elyfem is a combination birth control pill. It works by preventing ovulation, altering the cervical mucus, and changing the lining of the uterus.

Important safety information:

• Elyfem may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Elyfem with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
• Follow your doctor's instructions for examining your own breasts, and report any lumps immediately.
• If you will be having surgery or will be confined to a bed or chair for a long period of time (such as a long plane flight), notify your doctor 3 to 4 weeks ahead of time. Special precautions may need to be taken in these circumstances while taking Elyfem.
• You should usually not take Elyfem within 4 weeks after giving birth or otherwise ending a pregnancy. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
• Elyfem may cause dark skin patches on your face. Exposure to the sun may make these patches darker. If patches develop, use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing when exposed to the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths.
• Use of Elyfem will not protect against HIV infection or prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
• Bleeding or spotting may occur while taking Elyfem. Do not stop taking Elyfem if this occurs. If bleeding or spotting continues for more than 7 days or is heavy, contact your doctor.
• Smoking while using Elyfem may increase your risk of stroke, heart attack, blood clots, high blood pressure, or other diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
• Elyfem may interfere with certain lab tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are using Elyfem.
• Taking certain antibiotics, anticonvulsants, or other medicines, as listed in the interactions section, while you are using Elyfem may decrease the effectiveness of Elyfem. To prevent pregnancy, use an extra form of birth control (eg, condoms) until your next period.
• If you wear contact lenses and you develop problems with them, contact your doctor.
• If you miss your period during the week of inactive pills, call your doctor immediately. A missed period may indicate that you are pregnant.
• Elyfem may take time to wear off after your last dose. You may not be able to become pregnant for several months after stopping Elyfem. Discuss any concerns with your doctor or pharmacist.
• Lab tests, such as PAP tests, may be performed while you use Elyfem. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
• Elyfem should not be used in CHILDREN who have not had their first menstrual period; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.
• PREGNANCY AND BREAST-FEEDING: Do not use Elyfem if you are pregnant. Avoid becoming pregnant while you are taking it. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor right away. Elyfem is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Elyfem.
