Apri Medication Guide

What are the main uses of Apri, and how does it help in each case?

Apri (desogestrel-ethinyl estradiol) is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who choose to use oral contraceptives. Oral contraceptives are highly effective when used correctly and consistently.

The effectiveness of any contraceptive method depends on correct and consistent use.

What are the active and inactive ingredients in Apri?

Apri contains desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol as the active ingredients. Inactive ingredients in the rose-colored active tablets include colloidal silicon dioxide, FD&C Blue No. 2 aluminum lake, FD&C Red No. 40 aluminum lake, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lactose monohydrate, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80, povidone, pregelatinized corn starch, stearic acid, titanium dioxide, and vitamin E.

The white inactive tablets contain lactose anhydrous, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, and pregelatinized corn starch.

What are the instructions for using Apri?

Follow the doctor’s prescription exactly.

Take Apri at the same time each day without missing a dose. If you start with the Day 1 Start, take one rose-colored active tablet daily from the first day of your period for 21 days, followed by one white inactive tablet daily for seven days. Begin a new pack after finishing the inactive tablets, even if your period has not ended.

For the Sunday Start, take the first rose-colored active tablet on the first Sunday after your period begins. If your period starts on a Sunday, take the first tablet that day. Continue taking one rose-colored active tablet daily for 21 days, followed by one white inactive tablet daily for seven days.

Start a new pack the day after finishing the inactive tablets. Use backup contraception, like condoms, for the first seven days if you are starting Apri for the first time or switching from another birth control method.

If you are postpartum and not breastfeeding, you may begin Apri four weeks after delivery. If you have not had a period before starting Apri, use an additional contraceptive method for the first seven days.

If you miss a dose, take the missed rose-colored active tablet as soon as you remember. If you miss two active tablets in Week 1 or Week 2, take two tablets on the day you remember and two tablets the next day. Then continue with one tablet daily and use backup contraception for seven days.

If you miss two active tablets in Week 3 or three or more active tablets in a row, discard the pack and start a new one the same day (for Day 1 Start) or continue one tablet daily until Sunday, then discard the pack and begin a new one (for Sunday Start).

Use backup contraception for seven days after missing pills.

Breakthrough bleeding or missed periods may occur. If you miss two consecutive periods while following the schedule, check for pregnancy. If you did not follow the schedule and missed a period, pregnancy should be ruled out before continuing Apri.

When should Apri not be used?

Do not use Apri if you have or have had blood clot disorders, including thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis, or any known thrombophilic condition. You should avoid it if you have a history of stroke, coronary artery disease, or valvular heart disease with complications. Skip taking Apri if your blood pressure is consistently above 160/100 mm Hg or if you have diabetes with vascular issues.

Do not take it if you experience headaches with focal neurological symptoms or if you need major surgery that requires prolonged immobilization. Avoid Apri if you have or have had breast cancer or other hormone-sensitive cancers, endometrial carcinoma, or unexplained vaginal bleeding.

You should not use it if you have had cholestatic jaundice during pregnancy or with previous pill use, liver disease with abnormal liver function, or hepatic tumors. Do not take Apri if you are pregnant or allergic to any of its ingredients. Avoid it if you are using certain Hepatitis C treatments, as they may cause liver enzyme elevations.

What precautions should be taken while using Apri?

Before you take Apri, tell your healthcare provider if you have:

• A history of depression
• Hyperlipidemia or high cholesterol
• Liver problems or jaundice
• Conditions that may worsen with fluid retention
• A family history of breast cancer or breast nodules
• Any undiagnosed, persistent, or abnormal vaginal bleeding

Oral contraceptives do not protect against HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases. You should have regular medical checkups, including blood pressure, breast, and pelvic exams. If you have unexplained vaginal bleeding, your doctor may need to rule out cancer.

If you are being treated for high cholesterol, your doctor will monitor you closely. Some oral contraceptives may increase LDL cholesterol, making it harder to control your condition. If you develop jaundice, stop taking Apri immediately.

Oral contraceptives can cause fluid retention, so you should be monitored if you have conditions that could worsen due to fluid buildup. Women with a history of depression should be carefully observed. If serious depression returns, stop using Apri.

If you wear contact lenses and experience vision changes or discomfort, see an eye doctor.

Nursing mothers should avoid Apri if possible. Small amounts may pass into breast milk and cause effects like jaundice or breast enlargement in the baby. Birth control pills may also reduce milk supply. Consider alternative contraception until you stop breastfeeding.

Apri is approved for women of reproductive age, including postpubertal adolescents under 16. It is not meant for use before puberty. Apri has not been studied in women over 65 and is not recommended for them.
