(Ethinyl Estradiol/Levonorgestrel)

Altavera is a combined oral contraceptive that contains levonorgestrel, a progestin, and ethinyl estradiol, an estrogen. It helps prevent pregnancy mainly by stopping ovulation. It may also cause changes in cervical mucus and the endometrial lining that make pregnancy less likely.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Altavera. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Altavera:

• Take 1 tablet daily at the same time each day in the order shown on the blister pack. Each pack contains 21 peach active tablets followed by 7 white inactive tablets. Start each new pack on the same day of the week as the previous pack, whether or not you are having your menstrual period.
• If you use a Sunday Start, take the first tablet on the Sunday after your period starts and use non-hormonal back-up contraception, such as condoms or spermicide, for the first 7 days. If you use a Day 1 Start, take the first tablet on the first day of your period, and no back-up contraception is needed.
• If you miss 1 active tablet in Weeks 1, 2, or 3, take it as soon as you remember, then take the next tablet at your regular time. This may mean taking 2 tablets in 1 day. No back-up birth control method is needed.
• If you miss 2 active tablets in Week 1 or 2, take 2 missed tablets as soon as possible and the next 2 tablets the next day. Then take 1 tablet daily until the pack is finished. Use non-hormonal back-up birth control, such as condoms or spermicide, for 7 days after the missed pills.
• If you miss 2 active tablets in Week 3 or 3 or more active tablets in a row, follow the package directions based on whether you are a Day 1 Starter or Sunday Starter. You may need to throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack, and you must use back-up contraception for 7 days after restarting.
• Altavera does not protect against HIV infection, AIDS, or other sexually transmitted diseases.

These are not all of the possible side effects of Altavera. You should always seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns about your medical condition or treatment. Read all patient information, medication guides, or drug information sheets that come with this medication. You can also report adverse effects to the Food and Drug Administration at www.fda.gov/medwatch or 1-800-FDA-1088.

Altavera starts working based on when you begin your pack. If you start on Day 1 of your menstrual period, back-up contraception is not needed. If you use a Sunday Start, use back-up contraception for the first 7 days.

When Altavera is taken with other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements, it may change how they work or increase the frequency or severity of side effects. Make sure that you tell your healthcare professional about anything that you are taking to avoid any negative drug interactions, including:

• Certain enzyme inducers, such as carbamazepine, felbamate, griseofulvin, phenytoin, rifampin, topiramate, and St. John’s Wort, may reduce the levels and effectiveness of Altavera, and should be avoided while you take it.
• Colesevelam significantly reduces the levels and effectiveness of Altavera, and they should be taken at least 4 hours after.
• Certain cholesterol-lowering medications, such as atorvastatin or rosuvastatin, and enzyme inhibitors such as itraconazole, voriconazole, fluconazole, and grapefruit juice may increase levels and side effects of Altavera.
• Lamotrigine may have lower levels and effects when used with Altavera, which may put you at an increased risk of a seizure.
• When combined with combined oral contraceptives, thyroid hormones may have higher levels and cause more side effects.
• When combined with certain medications used to treat hepatitis C, such as ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir, with or without dasabuvir, and glecaprevir/pibrentasvi, there is a risk of increased liver enzyme levels. This combination is contraindicated.

Altavera is available as a 28-day oral contraceptive pack. Each pack contains 21 peach active tablets with levonorgestrel 0.15 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.03 mg, followed by 7 white inactive tablets.

It should be stored at room temperature, out of the reach of children and pets.

Altavera is manufactured by Laboratorios Leon Farma for Xiromed, LLC.

No, there is no generic version of Altavera, but similar products containing levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol include Portia and Marlissa.

Barring any of the above serious side effects or under the advice of your physician, do not stop taking Altavera suddenly, as this will increase your risk of pregnancy.

No, it should not be used during pregnancy.

Because it contains estrogen, Altavera may reduce breast milk production and pass into breast milk.

Talk to your doctor if you are already breastfeeding or if you have any plans to breastfeed. They will know or recommend what is best for you.
