LEVONORGESTREL/ETHINYL
ESTRADIOL EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIVE KIT
(lee-voh-nor-JEST-rell/ETH-in-ill ess-truh-DYE-ohl)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Preven
PREVEN USES:
This medication is used to help prevent pregnancy in women
who have had unprotected sex (intercourse) or suspect a failure
in their current form of birth control (e.g., broken condom).
HOW TO USE PREVEN :
A pregnancy test is in your kit to determine if you are already
pregnant from sex earlier in the month or from previous months.
Follow all instructions about the proper use of this test
before taking any medication. If you get a positive result,
do not take any of the medication contained in your kit. If
your pregnancy test results are negative, take 2 tablets by
mouth as soon as possible, but within 72 hours, of unprotected
sex. Take the second dose (2 tablets) 12 hours after the first
dose, or as directed by your doctor. This medication may be
taken with food to help prevent stomach upset. While taking
this medication, do not take any extra birth control medicine
other than what is provided in your kit unless instructed
to do so by your doctor. Read all usage instructions in the
product package and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have
questions about any of the information.
PREVEN SIDE EFFECTS:
Nausea, vomiting, menstrual changes, breast tenderness, headache,
stomach pain, cramps, rash, or dizziness may occur. If these
effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor. Tell your doctor
immediately if you have any of these serious side effects:
chest pain, coughing up blood, shortness of breath, pain in
the groin or calf, chest pain, sudden severe headache, one-sided
weakness, vision problems, slurred speech, confusion, numbness,
pain or tenderness in the stomach, lumps in the breast, yellowing
of the skin or eyes.
PRECAUTIONS:
Tell your doctor your medical history, especially of: blood
clots, heart problems (e.g., heart disease or heart attacks),

This risk increases with age (women over 35) and heavy smoking
(15 or more cigarettes per day). Avoid smoking and consult
your doctor or pharmacist for more information. This medication
must not be used during pregnancy. If you think you are pregnant,
inform your doctor immediately. This medication passes into
breast milk and has had undesirable effects on nursing infants.
Consult your doctor before breast- feeding.
