Quasense Information:

• What

What is Quasense?

Quasense contains 84 active pills with .15mg of ethinyl estradiol (estrogen) and .03mg of levonorgestrel (progestin). There are seven inactive pills at the end of each pack. Quasense and other estrogen/progestin birth controls work by stopping ovulation, thickening cervical mucous and changing the endometrial lining to make it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant.

• How

How do I take Quasense?

Choose a time of day that is best for you to remember to take your pill at the same time every day. Quasense is most effective when it is taken at the same time every day. Take one active pill per day for 84 days. Then take one inactive pill for seven days until you finish the pack. Menstruation should start during those seven days. If you don’t get your period, call your doctor. If you aren’t switching to Quasense from another birth control, you may have to use back-up contraception for seven days when you begin taking your pills. Ask your doctor if you need back-up contraception.
