Frequently Asked Questions about Famila 28 F Tablet

If you miss one active (white) pill, take it as soon as you remember, even if you take two pills in one day. If you miss two or more pills, use backup contraception (condoms) for 7 days and consult your doctor. Missing iron (brown) pills is not a concern. 
When taken correctly (same time every day without missing pills), Famila 28 F is about 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. With typical use (occasional missed pills), effectiveness is about 91%. Consistent daily use at the same time ensures maximum protection. 
Famila 28 F is generally not recommended during breastfeeding as the hormones can pass into breast milk and may affect milk production. Your doctor may recommend a progestin-only pill instead. Consult your doctor for the best contraceptive option while breastfeeding.
