How should I use Myzilra?
Oral contraceptives are indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use Myzilra Tablets as a method of contraception. Oral contraceptives are highly effective. lists the typical accidental pregnancy rates for users of combination oral contraceptives and other methods of contraception. The efficacy of these contraceptive methods, except sterilization and the IUD, depends upon the reliability with which they are used. Correct and consistent use of methods can result in lower failure rates.
Adapted from Hatcher RA et al, NY, NY: Ardent Media, Inc., 1998.
To achieve maximum contraceptive effectiveness, Myzilra Tablets—triphasic regimen must be taken exactly as directed and at intervals not exceeding 24 hours.
Myzilra Tablets are a three-phase preparation plus 7 inert tablets. The dosage of Myzilra Tablets is for 28 consecutive days per menstrual cycle in the following order: 6 beige tablets (phase 1), followed by 5 white tablets (phase 2), followed by 10 light-yellow tablets (phase 3), plus 7 light-green inert tablets, according to the prescribed schedule.
It is recommended that Myzilra Tablets be taken at the same time each day, preferably after the evening meal or at bedtime. During the first cycle of medication, the patient should be instructed to take one Myzilra Tablet daily in the order of 6 beige, 5 white, 10 light-yellow tablets, and then 7 light-green inert tablets for twenty-eight (28) consecutive days, beginning on day one (1) of her menstrual cycle. (The first day of menstruation is day one.) Withdrawal bleeding usually occurs within 3 days following the last light-yellow tablet. (If Myzilra Tablets are first taken later than the first day of the first menstrual cycle of medication or postpartum, contraceptive reliance should not be placed on Myzilra Tablets until after the first 7 consecutive days of administration. The possibility of ovulation and conception prior to initiation of medication should be considered.)
When switching from another oral contraceptive, Myzilra Tablets should be started on the first day of bleeding following the last active tablet taken of the previous oral contraceptive.
The patient begins her next and all subsequent 28 day courses of Myzilra Tablets on the same day of the week that she began her first course, following the same schedule. She begins taking her beige tablets on the next day after ingestion of the last light-green tablet, regardless of whether or not a menstrual period has occurred or is still in progress. Any time a subsequent cycle of Myzilra Tablets is started later than the next day, the patient should be protected by another means of contraception until she has taken a tablet daily for seven consecutive days.
If spotting or breakthrough bleeding occurs, the patient is instructed to continue on the same regimen. This type of bleeding is usually transient and without significance; however, if the bleeding is persistent or prolonged, the patient is advised to consult her physician. Although the occurrence of pregnancy is highly unlikely if Myzilra Tablets are taken according to directions, if withdrawal bleeding does not occur, the possibility of pregnancy must be considered. If the patient has not adhered to the prescribed schedule (missed one or more tablets or started taking them on a day later than she should have), the probability of pregnancy should be considered at the time of the first missed period and appropriate diagnostic measures taken before the medication is resumed. If the patient has adhered to the prescribed regimen and misses two consecutive periods, pregnancy should be ruled out before continuing the contraceptive regimen.
The risk of pregnancy increases with each active (beige, white, or light-yellow) tablet missed. For additional patient instructions regarding missed pills, see the “” section in the below. If breakthrough bleeding occurs following missed active tablets, it will usually be transient and of no consequence. If the patient misses one or more light-green tablets, she is still protected against pregnancy she begins taking beige tablets again on the proper day.
In the nonlactating mother, Myzilra Tablets may be initiated postpartum, for contraception. When the tablets are administered in the postpartum period, the increased risk of thromboembolic disease associated with the postpartum period must be considered (see , , and concerning thromboembolic disease). It is to be noted that early resumption of ovulation may occur if bromocriptine mesylate has been used for the prevention of lactation.

Clinical Information
Chemical Structure
No Image foundClinical Pharmacology
Combination oral contraceptives primarily act by suppression of gonadotropins. Although the primary mechanism of this action is inhibition of ovulation, other alterations include changes in the cervical mucus (which increase the difficulty of sperm entry into the uterus) and the endometrium (which reduce the likelihood of implantation).
Non-Clinical Toxicology
Oral contraceptives should not be used in women with any of the following conditions:Thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic disorders.A past history of deep-vein thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic disorders.Cerebral-vascular or coronary-artery disease.Known or suspected carcinoma of the breast.Carcinoma of the endometrium or other known or suspected estrogen-dependent neoplasia.Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding.Cholestatic jaundice of pregnancy or jaundice with prior pill use.Hepatic adenomas or carcinomas.Known or suspected pregnancy.Are receiving Hepatitis C drug combinations containing ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir, with or without dasabuvir, due to the potential for ALT elevations (see ).Reduced efficacy and increased incidence of breakthrough bleeding and menstrual irregularities have been associated with concomitant use of rifampin. A similar association, though less marked, has been suggested with barbiturates, phenylbutazone, phenytoin sodium, and possibly with griseofulvin, ampicillin, and tetracyclines.
