Take your pill at the same time every day to help you remember to take it. You may experience menstrual irregularities such as spotting or bleeding between menstrual periods or missed periods. Consult your doctor if this persists. Do not use Divacon Tablet if you are obese, over 35, smoke, on prolonged bed rest or have a history of blood clots.
