Viorele Information:
What is Viorele?
Viorele is a contraceptive that combines an estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and a progestin (desogestrel) to stop ovulation and to alter the composition of cervical mucus and the uterine lining to prevent an egg from attaching to the uterine wall. This medication may also be prescribed to women to help control acne or to those with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PDD).
How do I take Viorele?
Viorele is an oral contraceptive sold in packets of 28 tablets; the first twenty-one pills contain the active medications with the remainder are “reminder” pills to facilitate schedule maintenance. Take the first pill on the first day of your menstrual cycle or on the Sunday immediately following its start, then continue to take each of the tablets in the package, one per day, in the designated order until the packet is exhausted. Viorele can be taken with food or milk to prevent nausea. Begin a new cycle of pills the day after you finish one packet. Those who are taking oral contraceptives for the first time should use alternative methods of birth control for the first seven days. Discontinuing this medication increases the risk of pregnancy.
Before taking Viorele, tell your doctor if:
- You are allergic to desogestrel, ethinyl estradiol, progestin, estrogen, or any of the ingredients in the Viorele;
- You are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or are nursing a child
- You are taking any prescription or non-prescription medications, vitamins, or supplements
- You have a family history of heart or cardiovascular disease, problems, or conditions including tachycardia, bradycardia, arrhythmia

What if I forget to take a dose of Viorele?
If you forget to take one of your Viorele pills, follow the instructions that accompanied the prescription or contact your doctor for information.
