To achieve maximum contraceptive effectiveness, DESOGEN® Tablets (desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol tablets USP) must be taken exactly as directed, at the same time every day, and at intervals not exceeding 24 hours. DESOGEN® may be initiated using either a Sunday start or a Day 1 start.

NOTE: Each cycle pack dispenser is preprinted with the days of the week, starting with Sunday, to facilitate a Sunday start regimen. Six different "day label strips" are provided with each cycle pack dispenser in order to accommodate a Day 1 start regimen. In this case, the patient should place the self-adhesive "day label strip" that corresponds to her starting day over the preprinted days.
