What If I Miss a Dose of Solia?

Missing doses of Solia 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 Solia Dosing). If you are not sure what to do, refer to the patient information that comes with each pack of Solia, or consult your healthcare provider.
 

How Does Solia Work?

Solia 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 Solia primarily work to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation (the maturation and release of eggs from the ovaries). However, Solia also works to prevent pregnancy in two other, minor ways. Solia 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. Solia also alters the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium), making it less receptive to an embryo.
