Kelnor 1/35 is a combination oral contraceptive pill (OCP, birth control medication, birth control pills). It works to prevent pregnancy by stopping the release of an egg (ovulation), and thickening the cervical mucus, blocking sperm from getting into the uterus and ultimately to the egg. Kelnor 1/35 is also prescribed to treat acne, reduce the risk of ovarian cysts such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), treat painful or heavy periods, and more. Read More
Simply take one pill every day, at the same time each day. Most women find that taking Kelnor 1/35 before bedtime or with your largest meal of the day helps reduce nausea and other side effects. It is recommended to take your first active pill the first Sunday after your period begins.
After taking 21 days of active pills, you’ll switch to 7 inactive pills. These are reminder pills with no hormones that exist to keep you in the habit of taking your pill every day. These 7 tablets do have ferrous fumarate to prevent anemia from the blood loss with monthly bleeds.
If you do miss one active pill , take two pills as soon as you remember. Then, continue to take one active pill for the rest of the pill pack. If you miss two active pills in a row take two pills per day for two days.
However, if you miss three active pills in a row, do not take the missed pills. Instead you should use a back up birth control method for at least 7 days. Note that you may experience some breakthrough bleeding or spotting if you miss three pills in a row.
Remember that Kelnor 1/35 and other hormonal birth control cannot be used to prevent HIV infection or other sexually transmitted diseases. In order to prevent STDs, always use condoms when having sexual intercourse.
Kelnor 1/35 uses a blend of two hormones, estrogen(Ethinyl Estradiol, 1mg), and progesterone (ethynodiol diacetate 35 mcg).
The risks are very low, but some women have experienced unwanted side effects when taking Kelnor 1/35. Minor ones include breast tenderness, headaches, nausea, swollen feet or ankles, and slightly elevated blood pressure or blood sugar levels. Women who are breast feeding should not take Kelnor 1/35 because it may slow breast milk production. Positive side effects are also a possibility, too — reduced acne, fewer mood swings, and other perks are fairly common.
The chances of serious side effects are extremely unlikely, but some cases have been documented such as blood clotting, shortness of breath, migraines, vision problems, slurred speech, confusion, and fainting. Those who wear contacts or are nearsighted may notice vision problems as well.
These may sound scary, but remember — they’re very rare.
