{"product_id":"eloine-contraception","title":"Eloine","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHow to take Eloine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 1 pill daily at the same time for 28 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach strip contains 24 light pink active tablets and 4 white inactive tablets. Take a light pink tablet every day for 24 days. Then take a white tablet every day for 4 days - during this time you may get your period. Once complete, start a new strip straightaway (24 light pink and then 4 white tablets). There is therefore no pill break.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways start a new strip with the first light pink tablet on the upper left. For the correct order, follow the direction of the arrows on the strip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does Eloine work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEloine contains 28 pills per pack: 24 active pills (light pink) and 4 inactive pills (white). Each of the active tablets has different levels of hormones in them, and must be taken in the prescribed order for the pill to remain effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe active hormones are ethinylestradiol and drospirenone. These stops eggs from being released (ovulation), and from being fertilised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow effective is Eloine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen taken correctly, Eloine is \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/contraception\/combined-contraceptive-pill\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e99% effective\u003c\/a\u003e in preventing pregnancy. If it’s not always taken correctly roughly 9 out of 100 women will get pregnant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are vomiting or have severe diarrhoea you may not be protected against pregnancy. If this happens, continue to take the pill as usual but use a condom whilst you're ill. If this continues for more than 24 hours you should follow the same steps as a missed pill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note – you should only start Eloine if you’re sure you’re not pregnant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long after taking Eloine are you protected?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you start using Eloine on days 1-5 of your period, you should be protected from pregnancy immediately, provided you don’t have a short or irregular menstrual cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you start after day 1 and have short\/irregular menstrual cycle you’ll need to use condoms for 7 days if you have sex. Your clinician will be able to advise if you need to use extra contraception in the first 7 days if you have sex.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the side effects of Eloine?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany women do not experience any side effects, however some experience more irregular bleeding with a low-dose pill. This usually settles in a few months. Other side effects can include headaches, feeling sick, breast discomfort, or mood swings. Rarely, some women develop blood clots. This pill carries a slightly higher risk of blood clots than others.
