Hana Tablets - 75mcg - 28 count

Hana is a progest-only pill (POP) and is over 99% effective when taken correctly, similar to combined pills in perfect use. However, POPs like Hana can be more susceptible to reduced effectiveness if doses are missed or taken late, leading to a practical effectiveness of around 91%.

Progest-only pills like Hana are generally considered safe to use while breastfeeding. However, it is essential to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist, as they can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation and the age of your baby.

You can stop taking Hana tablets at any time. It is recommended to finish the current pack if you are not planning pregnancy immediately. Fertility typically returns quickly after stopping the pill, so if you do not wish to conceive, you should start another method of contraception.

No, Hana Tablets do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). For protection against STIs, barrier methods like condoms should be used.

Protection usually begins after the first 7 days of taking the pill correctly. If you start Hana on the first day of your period, you are protected immediately. If you start on any other day of your cycle, use an additional method of contraception (like condoms) for the first 7 days.

Consult your pharmacist or doctor. They will advise you on how to switch from your current method (e.g., combined pill, patch, injection) to Hana. This may involve starting Hana on a specific day of your cycle or using backup contraception for a short period.

Hana is a progest-only pill (POP), containing only the hormone progest. Combined contraceptive pills contain both progest and estrogen. POPs are often recommended for women who cannot take estrogen for medical reasons, such as breastfeeding mothers or those with certain health conditions.

If you miss one pill, take it as soon as you remember, even if it's two pills in one day. Continue taking the next pill at the usual time. If you miss two or more pills, consult the patient information leaflet for specific instructions, as you may need to use an additional form of contraception.

If you vomit within 3-4 hours of taking a tablet or have severe diarrhea, your body may not have absorbed the hormone properly. Treat this as if you have missed a pill and follow the instructions for missed pills. Use an additional method of contraception if you have intercourse during the 7 days following the vomiting or diarrhea.

If a tablet is broken, damaged, or missing from the pack, do not take it. If it's one of the first 21 tablets, use an alternative contraceptive method and contact your pharmacist for a replacement pack.

Common side effects may include changes in mood, headaches, nausea, or irregular bleeding. If side effects are severe or persistent, consult your pharmacist or doctor. Seek immediate medical attention for signs of a blood clot (e.g., sudden shortness of breath, severe pain in leg, unusual swelling).
