Daysee

Daysee is packaged in a kit that contains three trays of tablets. In the kit, Daysee is comprised of 84 light blue active tablets that contain a combination of progestin and estrogen, and seven yellow tablets containing a low dose of estrogen for a total of 91 active tablets. The first two trays each hold 28 pills, the third tray holds 35 pills and includes the seven tablets that contain a low-dose estrogen.

Since Daysee is an extended-cycle contraceptive, periods generally occur every 12 weeks. Your period will ideally begin while taking the seven yellow “reminder” pills. Start the next pack of Daysee whether or not you have your period. Daysee works best when it is stored in a cool, dry place and taken at the same time each day. Doses of Daysee should be taken no more than 24 hours apart to maintain its 99% effective rate. Keep Daysee in a convenient place so you don't forget to take your medication.

Daysee is a prescription medication that requires a visit to your doctor. Prescription prices may vary from pharmacy to pharmacy and may be reduced if you have insurance. Retail Daysee typically runs between $232 and $75 for a 91 tablet kit and is available at most pharmacies. It's always a good idea to check with your insurance provider to see if your medication is covered or if you will incur out-of-pocket expenses.

When using Daysee, it's important to take your medication at the same time every day and no more than 24 hours between doses. If you miss a dose, take your medication as soon as you remember. To reduce the risk of pregnancy, consult your doctor if you miss more than two doses, or if you are consistently late taking your medication.

As is the case with most meds, you may experience side effects. Most side effects are minimal and diminish after you've been on the medication for a while. Common side effects include breakthrough bleeding or spotting, breast tenderness, mood changes, sensitivity to light, and minimal weight gain. Some women may experience nausea or vomiting when taking this medication, so it is recommended that you take it with food or at bedtime.

Serious side effects are rare and may show up as changes in breast tissue or discharge, or changes in vaginal bleeding. Consult your doctor if your symptoms don't lessen after the first 91-day cycle of Daysee, or if your symptoms are a concern.
