Precautions

This medication should not be taken if pregnant or suspected of being pregnant. It should not be used in patients with venous thromboembolism or cardiovascular disease, or a history of these conditions. Patients with severely impaired liver function or liver tumors, whether past or present, should not take this medicine. Administration should also be avoided in cases of suspected or diagnosed malignant tumors sensitive to sex hormones, or in cases of unexplained vaginal bleeding. Patients allergic to any ingredients in this medicine or those with lactose intolerance should avoid taking it. Women with severe uterine bleeding should take caution as bleeding may worsen when using this drug. Care should be taken in patients at risk of cardiovascular disease, especially those with a history of hypertension or thrombosis. Cancer patients, particularly those with a history of breast cancer or at risk of liver tumor development, should monitor their liver and health status closely while taking this medication. Patients at risk for osteoporosis should evaluate and manage their bone health before and after taking this medication, and those with a history of depression should carefully observe any changes in their condition. Diabetic patients need to monitor their blood sugar control closely, and women with a history of ectopic pregnancy or tubal dysfunction should carefully assess the risks and benefits. Common side effects during the first month of use may include headaches, breast discomfort, mood changes, and acne. Changes in menstrual patterns may occur, including irregular bleeding or amenorrhea. Other reported side effects may include weight changes, appetite changes, sleep disturbances, irritability, skin issues, musculoskeletal pain, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Pregnancy status must be confirmed while taking this medication. If contraception is needed, non-hormonal methods are recommended. If hypertension develops during treatment, it should be discontinued and appropriate management should be sought. If liver function abnormalities or brown spots on the skin occur, sunlight exposure should be avoided and a doctor should be consulted. This medication may cause follicular cysts, which usually resolve without symptoms but should be monitored for bone health due to the risk of decreased bone density in long-term use. This medication may interact with other drugs; therefore, if taking medications that affect drug metabolism in the liver, consult a doctor or pharmacist.
