Aviane Birth Control Pills

Aviane is as effective as any other birth control pill. Birth control pills are 99.7% effective if PERFECTLY used (in a research study) and 93% effective in “regular use” (when real people use it and mess up every now and then).

Pretty much every medication comes with a tiny risk of an allergic reaction, including Aviane. The symptoms are usually mild and include rashes, itching, and dizziness. If you experience trouble breathing or swollen lips, throat, or tongue, seek out emergency medical help immediately.

You shouldn’t smoke anyway, but especially not if you’re taking birth control pills containing estrogen like Aviane. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious side effects like blood clots, especially in women who are older than 35.

Depending on your medical history, hormone-based oral contraceptives may not be for you. It’s important to discuss your medical history with your physician or one of our helpful Pandia Health Patient Care Advisors before you get started on Aviane, especially if you’ve had certain risk factors such as severe headaches, breast cancer, liver cancer, kidney disease, heart disease, blood clots, uncontrolled diabetes, or high blood pressure.

Aviane should be available at just about any pharmacy in your area. It does require a prescription from a doctor, though.

If you choose to pay out-of-pocket, Aviane is quite affordable because it’s a generic brand being $25 per pack. You can also save by choosing one of several other Aviane generics, such as Aubra, Larissia, Orsythia, Falmina, Vienva, Lutera. Generics have the SAME active ingredients and dosage as the name brand.

No, Aviane birth control does not stop your periods. There are 28 tablets on each packet and you will have a bleed on the last 7 days of each pack (aka placebo week). If you want to skip your period you can use Aviane for it when you skip the placebo week and immediately start a new pack. Learn more about #PeriodsOptional and how to skip your period here.

Before starting Aviane, tell your doctor of any other medications (recreational drugs, over-the-counter medicines, herbal products, supplements, or other drugs) you are already taking, as there may be increased risk of pregnancy due to certain drug interactions lowering the level of female hormones (estrogen) in your body. There are certain meds you should absolutely bring up while taking this medication. These are aromatase inhibitors, cancer, HIV, seizure, chronic hepatitis C, and diabetes medications.

If you take the pill every day at the same time, the chances of getting pregnant while taking Aviane are low. Birth control pills are 99.7% effective if PERFECTLY used (in a research study) and 93% effective in “regular use” (when real people use it and mess up every now and then).
