Warnings and precautions

Report any unusual or heavy vaginal bleeding to your doctor. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, could be pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Keep your review appointments. Take a hormonal medicine at the same time every day; the effect depends on a steady level. Seek urgent care for sudden chest pain, breathlessness, severe headache, weakness on one side, or pain and swelling in a calf — hormone preparations can raise the risk of clots. Tell your doctor if you smoke, have migraine with aura, high blood pressure, or a family history of clots or breast cancer, before starting.

Do not take Duoluton L if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Your doctor will confirm this medicine is suitable for you. Not for people with a history of blood clots, certain hormone-sensitive cancers, or active liver disease. Several are contraindicated in pregnancy.

Interactions with other medicines

Tell your doctor about every medicine, supplement and herbal product you take. Rifampicin, several anti-epileptics and St John's wort make hormonal contraception unreliable.
