Ingredients

Ethinylestradiol 35mcg and norgestimate 0.25mg

Side Effects

Cilest may increase the chances of developing blood clots or cancers such breast cancer or cervical cancer. However, it may provide some protection against ovarian and endometrial cancer. You and your prescriber will need to weigh up the benefits and risks of taking Cilest before you start to take it.

In certain situations the effectiveness of Cilest may be reduced and you will need to take extra contraceptive precautions. These situations include: missing a dose by more than 12 hours; taking other medicines that interact with Cilest; having diarrhoea, vomiting or an upset stomach or any medical condition which interferes with the absorption of your medicine. If any of these situations occur during the last seven days of your strip you should not have a tablet-free break between strips of tablets. Start taking the next strip of tablets without a break.

As there is no gap between strips you will not have a withdrawal bleed at the end of the first strip. But you may have some menstrual bleeding while you are taking the second strip and you should have a withdrawal bleed once you finish the second strip. For more information about situations when the effectiveness of Cilest may be reduced and when to take additional contraceptive precautions ask your prescriber, family planning nurse or read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medicine.
