WARNING: CIGARETTE SMOKING AND SERIOUS CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS
Cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular events from combination oral contraceptive (COC) use.

Warnings and PrecautionsDiscontinue norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets if a thrombotic event occurs, and at least 4 weeks before and through 2 weeks after major surgery. Norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets should not be started any earlier than 4 weeks after delivery, in women who are not breastfeeding. If jaundice occurs, treatment should be discontinued.
The Authorized Generic of Minastrin® 24 Fe should not be prescribed for women with uncontrolled hypertension or hypertension with vascular disease. Women who are prediabetic or diabetic, should be monitored while using the Authorized Generic of Minastrin® 24 Fe. Alternate contraceptive methods should be considered for women with uncontrolled dyslipidemia. Patients using the Authorized Generic of Minastrin® 24 Fe who have a significant change in headaches or irregular bleeding or amenorrhea should be evaluated.
