The medicine should be taken at intervals not exceeding 24 hours. In other words, the drug should be taken once in a day with any miss. In order to achieve the best result of this medicine, it should be taken exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Every pack of this drug contains 21 while oral birth control pills and 7 brown colored, non-hormone pills.
Estrostep-FE is an effective birth control pill made from the formulation of lower dosages of estrogen and higher concentration of progesterone. The concentration of these artificially conceived female sex hormones in this drug suppresses the activity of the pituitary glands so as to hinder the process of ovulation.
The side effects of Estrostep-FE may vary from person to person and may depend on factors like age, weight, general health, gender and ethnicity. Most of the people do not face any side effects of the drug, if taken along with food.
