Question 1

What if I miss a white active tablet by more than 24 hours?

Accepted Answer

Take the last missed tablet as soon as you remember (even if that means taking two tablets in one day). Use condoms for the next 7 days. If the missed tablet was in the first week and you had unprotected sex in the previous 7 days, consider emergency contraception.

Question 2

Can I delay my period while using Zoely?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Skip the yellow placebo tablets and start a new blister of active tablets immediately. You may have spotting or light bleeding during the second pack. When you want your period, finish the active tablets and then take the 4 placebos.

Question 3

What should I do if I vomit soon after taking Zoely?

Accepted Answer

If you vomit within 3‑4 hours of taking an active tablet, take another active tablet from a reserve pack as soon as possible. If vomiting persists or you cannot take another tablet within 24 hours, follow missed pill guidance.

Question 4

Can I take Zoely if I have high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

If your blood pressure is well controlled, Zoely may be suitable. However, if you have severe hypertension or vascular damage, it is contraindicated. Your doctor will measure your blood pressure before prescribing and monitor it regularly.

Question 5

How soon after stopping Zoely can I get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Fertility usually returns quickly after stopping Zoely. It’s recommended to wait for a natural period before trying to conceive, to help date the pregnancy. Most women conceive within a few months of stopping.
