FLORINA TABLET 21'S

How FLORINA TABLET 21'S Works

• FLORINA TABLET 21'S is a combined oral contraceptive pill that contains two synthetic hormones: estrogen (Ethinylestradiol) and progestin (Gestodene). These hormones work synergistically to prevent pregnancy through multiple mechanisms.
• The primary way FLORINA TABLET 21'S prevents pregnancy is by suppressing ovulation. The hormones inhibit the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus, which in turn reduces the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. FSH is responsible for the development of ovarian follicles, and LH triggers ovulation. By suppressing these hormones, FLORINA TABLET 21'S prevents the maturation of an egg and its release from the ovary.
• In addition to preventing ovulation, FLORINA TABLET 21'S also alters the cervical mucus, making it thicker and more difficult for sperm to penetrate the uterus. This creates a physical barrier that hinders sperm from reaching the egg, even if ovulation were to occur. The progestin component, Gestodene, is primarily responsible for this effect.
• Furthermore, FLORINA TABLET 21'S affects the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. It makes the endometrium thinner and less receptive to implantation. Even if fertilization were to occur, a thinner endometrium makes it less likely for the fertilized egg to successfully implant and develop into a pregnancy.
• In summary, FLORINA TABLET 21'S prevents pregnancy by a triple mechanism: preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, and thinning the endometrium to prevent implantation. When taken consistently and correctly, FLORINA TABLET 21'S is a highly effective method of contraception.

• If you miss a dose of Florina Tablet, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the one you missed. Missing a dose may increase the likelihood of breakthrough bleeding or spotting.

• Take FLORINA TABLET 21'S exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not miss doses. Consistency is key for optimal effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. Set a daily reminder if needed to help maintain a regular schedule.
• Start your first pack of FLORINA TABLET 21'S on the first day of your period or as instructed by your healthcare provider. If starting mid-cycle, use a non-hormonal backup method of contraception, like condoms, for the first seven days to prevent unintended pregnancy.
• If you experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding, continue taking FLORINA TABLET 21'S as directed. These side effects are common, especially during the first few months, and usually resolve on their own. If bleeding persists or is heavy, consult your doctor.
• Be aware of potential drug interactions. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking, including over-the-counter medications, as some may reduce the effectiveness of FLORINA TABLET 21'S.
• If you vomit or have severe diarrhea within 3-4 hours of taking FLORINA TABLET 21'S, the tablet may not be fully absorbed. Treat this as a missed dose and use a backup method of contraception for the next seven days. Consult your doctor for further guidance if these symptoms persist.
