- Other menstrual irregularities.
Keep Reclipsen tablets in their original package. The packaging is designed to help you remember to take the tablets each day. Keep the package at room temperature, away from moisture or heat.

What If I Miss a Dose of Reclipsen?
Missing doses of Reclipsen increases the risk of pregnancy. What you should do depends on how many tablets you have missed and where exactly you are in your cycle
(see Reclipsen Dosing). If you are not sure what to do, refer to the patient information that comes with each pack of Reclipsen, or consult your healthcare provider.
Reclipsen is a combined
oral contraceptive, which means that it is a
birth control pill that contains two different types of hormones. It contains both an estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and a progestin (desogestrel). The hormones in Reclipsen primarily work to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation (the maturation and release of eggs from the ovaries). However, Reclipsen also works to prevent pregnancy in two other, minor ways. Reclipsen changes the cervical mucus (the fluid of the cervix, which is the lower, narrow part of the uterus that is connected to the vagina), making it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus. Reclipsen also alters the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium), making it less receptive to an embryo.
