Zoely

You should take one tablet of Zoely once a day at the same time each day for 24 days, followed by a 4-day break without tablets. Remember to start each new pack on the same day of the week to maintain effectiveness. If you miss a dose, follow the instructions in the leaflet provided. The effects of Zoely last throughout the 28-day cycle. In case of vomiting or severe diarrhoea within 3-4 hours of taking a tablet, use additional contraceptive measures. If you experience severe abdominal pain, chest pain, or shortness of breath, seek medical help.

Each Zoely tablet contains 2.5 mg nomegestrol acetate and 1.5 mg estradiol, along with excipients such as lactose monohydrate, maize starch, and magnesium stearate.

Common side effects of Zoely include headaches, nausea, breast pain, and changes in menstrual bleeding. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include chest pain, severe migraines, vision changes, and signs of a blood clot (e.g., swelling and pain in the legs).

Do not use Zoely if you have a history of blood clots, certain types of migraines, or liver disease. Zoely is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, or are taking medications that may interact with Zoely, consult your healthcare provider before starting this contraceptive. Remember that Zoely does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
