To best treat your condition, Aygestin should be used exactly as your Physician has prescribed it for you. Do not use more of the medication than recommended. Do not take Aygestin for longer than your Physician has prescribed.

• You may have some light bleeding or spotting between periods. Continue taking Aygestin even if this occurs.
• If your menstrual period is late you may be pregnant. If it has been more than 45 says since the start of your last period, call your Physician or use a home pregnancy test.

• If you were more than 3 hours late in taking your dose, use a backup method of birth control (such as a condom and/ or spermicide). Keep using the backup method for at least 48 hours to ensure protection from pregnancy.
