special instructions
Zhenale does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS.
It is not recommended to use the drug as a planned, permanent contraception after each sexual intercourse and / or monthly.
Until the end of the current menstrual cycle after using Zhenale, intercourse without the use of contraceptive drugs is not recommended. With further sexual intercourse, it is necessary to use a barrier method of contraception.
10 mg of mifepristone (1 dose) is not enough to induce an abortion, so a highly sensitive pregnancy test must be done before further use of the drug, which ensures that Zhenale is only used if there is no pregnancy.
If, despite taking Zhenale, a pregnancy has occurred, it is recommended to terminate it with a surgical or medical method, since it is impossible to completely eliminate the risk of developing fetal pathologies.
Drug interactions
For 8-12 days after taking Zhenale, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be avoided.
