How Should It Be Stored?

Keep Zovia tablets in their original package. The packaging is designed to help you remember to take the tablets each day and to take the tablets in the correct order. Keep the package at room temperature, away from moisture or heat.

What If I Miss a Dose?

Missing doses of Zovia 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 Zovia Dosage).
