What is Azurette?
Azurette is an FDA-approved generic women's prescription birth control pill. The active ingredients are two naturally-occurring hormones: ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) and desogestrel (a progestin). Azurette prevents the monthly release of an egg from the ovaries. It also alters the linings of both the cervix and uterus. Because of this, sperm has difficulty traveling along these linings and a fertilized egg has difficulty implanting on the uterine wall.
Azurette is taken daily in a 28-day sequence. It is a “monophasic” oral contraceptive, that is, the dose of each active ingredient remains the same for 21 days of the 28-day sequence. The final 7 tablets, however, are inert and taken at the end of the monthly cycle to promote menstruation, when pregnancy is no longer a risk.
What are the side effects of Azurette?
Common side effects of Azurette include but are not limited to swelling, bloating, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, headache, breast tenderness, menstrual changes, and vaginal itching and discharge. Mood changes are common and include mood swings, depression, and decreased sex. Allergic reactions to Azurette are extremely rare but include rashes and hives. drive.
Nursing mothers should avoid Azurette because estrogens reduce breast milk production. Estrogens also pass into the milk and affect the development of the infant. Nursing mothers requiring birth control are often prescribed “mini-pills,” whose only active ingredient is a progestin.
