Dosage and Administration

• Take Seasonique exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water.
• Take one tablet at the same time every day to maintain consistent hormone levels in your bloodstream.

• Avoid skipping doses; take Seasonique consistently as prescribed to maintain its effectiveness.
• Do not take more than the prescribed dose to prevent potential side effects or overdose.
• Avoid smoking while taking Seasonique, as it increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects.

Mechanism of Action

Seasonique works by inhibiting ovulation, altering the cervical mucus to prevent sperm penetration, and changing the uterine lining to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. These actions help to prevent pregnancy.
