What If I Take an Overdose?
Women who take too much Ortho-Cyclen may experience the following symptoms:
- Nausea with or without vomiting
- Vaginal bleeding or other menstrual irregularities (in females).

What If I Miss a Dose of Ortho-Cyclen?
Missing doses of Ortho-Cyclen 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. Refer to the patient information that comes with each pack of Ortho-Cyclen or consult your healthcare provider if you are not sure what to do (
see Ortho-Cyclen Dosage for more information as well).
