Hi,
Thanks for using the HCM. I am happy to address your questions, during the first cycle of Yaz use, patient need to take one light pink Yaz daily, beginning on Day 1 of menstrual cycle. (The first day of menstruation is Day 1.) One needs to take one light pink Yaz daily for 24 consecutive days, followed by one white inert tablet daily on Days 25 through 28. Yaz should be taken in the order directed on the package at the same time each day, preferably after the evening meal or at bedtime with some liquid, as needed. Yaz can be taken without regard to meals. If Yaz is first taken later than the first day of the menstrual cycle, Yaz should not be considered effective as a contraceptive until after the first 7 consecutive days of product administration. It is mentioned that the patient needs to use a non-hormonal contraceptive as back-up during the first 7 days. The possibility of ovulation and conception prior to initiation of medication should be considered. Will recommend you to kindly do the pregnancy test as well as consult your gynaecologist. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. Thanks
