Seasonale - Seasonale Birth Control
Seasonale birth control brought a revolutionary concept to the birth control market, offering a 91-day supply of birth control pills to allow for a period once every 12 weeks instead of the standard 28 days. Unlike some other forms of birth control pills, Seasonale birth control uses two different female hormones to regulate a woman's cycle and prevent her from ovulating during the time that the pill is being taken. In addition to providing hormones to prevent ovulation, Seasonale birth control also causes changes to occur to the mucus membranes of the vaginal walls so as to make it more difficult for sperm to travel toward the egg in the first place.
Generic Seasonale is available for those who want the effects of Seasonale birth control with the lower cost of generic medications. Most users will find little to no difference between generic Seasonale and the brand name version of the same birth control pill. In addition to generic Seasonale, other birth control products also exist which use similar ingredients as Seasonale birth control in order to produce the same effect of a 12-week cycle.
Seasonale side effects are generally mild when they occur, with nausea, headaches, changes in weight, and tiredness being among the most common. While most women won't experience any of these Seasonale side effects, the possibility does exist for more serious side effects as well. These rare Seasonale side effects can include chest pain, sudden numbness or weakness, and swelling in the hands and feet. Seasonale birth control is a revolutionary drug for females who prefer longer circle periods.
