Sexual Health
Drugs for treating ED can be taken orally, injected directly into the penis, or inserted into the urethra at the tip of the penis. In March 1998, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Viagra, the first pill to treat ED. In August 2003, the FDA gave approval to a second oral medicine, vardenafil hydrochloride (Levitra). Additional oral medicines are being tested for safety and effectiveness.

Erectile dysfunction, sometimes called “impotence,” is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. The word “impotence” may also be used to describe other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse and reproduction, such as lack of sexual desire and problems with ejaculation or orgasm. Using the term erectile dysfunction makes it clear that those other problems are not involved.

Birth Control
Most women are capable of conception from their early teens, into their late 40’s. Birth control makes planning your family possible, both in the size of your family and the spacing of your children.

The pill is the most popular form of birth control. The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research found that 50 percent of the women they surveyed did not know that the pill provides benefits beyond preventing pregnancy. It has come a long way from the original version created over 40 years ago. The benefits include the decrease risk of ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, colorectal cancer, pelvic inflammatory disease, osteoporosis and benign ovarian cysts. In fact the pill is recommended for women experiencing the discomfort of perinenopause.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration states that out of 100 couples a year who rely on either the pill, injections, implants, IUD’s or sterilization only 5 will have an accidental pregnancy. Out of 100 couples depending on condoms or diaphragms in 1 year 14 to 20 will have an unwanted pregnancy. Even less effective were the natural planning method, spermicides alone, and the female condom.

Over a lifetime many men and women find they have used a number of different types of birth control. Discuss with your doctor which method of birth control is right for you at this stage of your life.

Genital Warts (HPV)
Sometimes also called “venereal warts,” genital warts are caused by a group of viruses called HPV (short for human papillomavirus). Some kinds of HPVs cause the kind of warts you see on people’s hands and feet, but these warts are not sexually transmitted.

Genital warts can be passed from person to person during intimate sexual contact (vaginal, oral, or anal sex). Rarely, genital warts are transmitted from a mother to her baby during childbirth. You cannot catch genital warts from a towel, doorknob, or toilet seat.

Genital Herpes
According to the CDC genital Herpes is on the rise. Research shows that 90% of the population has been exposed to oral herpes and 25% of the population aged 25-45 in the U.S. has been exposed to genital herpes. An estimated 86 million people worldwide are thought to have genital herpes. More than 1 million new cases of genital herpes are diagnosed in the United States each year as reported by the National Institute of Health.

Joining a support group can lessen the stress associated with this illness. Social and emotional shame can be far worse than the pain of an outbreak. Education and treatment can remedy the social isolation felt.

Genital Herpes cannot be cured. However, treatment can relieve the symptoms. Medication can rapidly decrease the pain and discomfort associated with an out break and can shorten healing time as well. In August of 2003 the FDA approved Valtrex for the reduced risk of heterosexual transmission of genital Herpes to susceptible partners with healthy immune systems when used as suppressive therapy in combination with safer sex practices. Researchers have found that daily doses of antiviral herpes drugs reduce asymptomatic shedding, but whether this suppressive therapy can help prevent transmission is not yet known. These medications do not cure the herpes infection, they suppress the symptoms and have been shown to speed healing time.

An emergency contraceptive, Plan B can prevent a pregnancy after unprotected sex, contraceptive failure, or sexual assault. If taken as directed within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected sex, Plan B reduces the chance of pregnancy by up to 89%. But the sooner you take it, the more effective it will be. Plan B is safe and effective. Plan B is FDA-approved and contains levonorgestrel, the same ingredient found in many birth control pills. The difference is that Plan B is two pills taken 12 hours apart and uses a larger dose of levonorgestrel than a single birth control pill. And, unlike many birth control pills, Plan B doesn’t contain any estrogen, only progestin. Remember we have FREE OVERNIGHT SHIPPING on Plan B and the Lowest Online Plan B Prices possible!

Plan B Patient Information Sheet

• Take the first tablet as soon as possible within 3 days (72 hours) after unprotected sex.
• Take the second tablet 12 hours after you take the first tablet.

That’s it. When you take Plan B as directed, you reduce your risk for pregnancy by up to 89%. And the sooner you take it, the more effective it is.

Some women may have their period earlier or later than their normal cycle. If your menstrual cycle is delayed more than one week, you may be pregnant.

Plan B is safe and effective.

Plan B is approved by the FDA for use as an emergency contraceptive. And it contains the same birth control hormone that healthcare professionals have been prescribing for more than 35 years. When used as directed, Plan B is a safe and effective way to prevent an unplanned pregnancy.

There have been no serious complications associated with Plan B. You may experience non-serious side effects such as nausea, abdominal pain, tiredness, headache, dizziness, or breast tenderness. These are similar to the side effects you may experience on regular birth control pills. However, if you should vomit within 1 hour of taking either Plan B tablet, call your healthcare professional to see if you should repeat the dose.

Some women may also have menstrual changes after taking Plan B. For example, you may experience spotting or bleeding before your next period. Or your next period might be heavier or lighter, earlier or later. Most women will have their next menstrual period at the expected time or within 1 week of the expected time. If your menstrual period is delayed beyond 1 week, you may be pregnant and should follow up with your healthcare professional.

Who should not take Plan B?

Although Plan B is safe and effective, it is not right for every woman. Do not use Plan B:

• If you are already pregnant, because Plan B will not work
• If you are allergic to levonorgestrel or any of the ingredients in Plan B
• If you have abnormal vaginal bleeding that has not been evaluated by a healthcare professional

Remember, Plan B is not a substitute for routine birth control, and it does not protect you from HIV infection (the virus that causes AIDS) and any other sexually transmitted disease (STD).

Plan B should not be used if you are already pregnant (because it will not work), if you are allergic to levonorgestrel or any of the ingredients in Plan B, or for regular birth control.

Menstrual bleeding may be heavier or lighter, earlier or later after taking Plan B. If your period is more than a week late, pregnancy should be considered.

Plan B does not protect against the AIDS virus (HIV) or other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Common side effects associated with the use of Plan B included nausea, abdominal pain, tiredness, headache, menstrual changes, dizziness, breast tenderness, and vomiting.

Emergency Contraception

Emergency contraception, or emergency birth control, is used to prevent a woman from getting pregnant after she has had unprotected sex. Unprotected sex can mean that no method of birth control was used, that a method of birth control was used but did not work – like a condom breaking – or that a woman was forced to have sex when she did not want to. In these situations, emergency contraception offers women an effective second chance at preventing an unplanned pregnancy.

Approximately 2.7 million unplanned pregnancies occur each year, of which 54% result in abortion.2 Many experts believe that greater awareness of emergency contraception may help reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies and abortions that occur each year.3 Although emergency contraception has been around for a long time, many people still don’t know about it. The fact is, emergency contraception has been available since the mid 1960s and it is currently available in over 100 countries.

Although emergency contraception offers safe, effective backup protection, it should never take the place of a regular method of birth control. There are more effective methods of birth control that should be used on a regular basis to prevent pregnancy. And it is important to remember that emergency contraception does not protect you from HIV infection (the virus that causes AIDS) and any other sexually transmitted disease (STD).

Take action and go beyond birth control with YAZ (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol). YAZ is THE ONLY birth control proven to treat emotional and physical symptoms of PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) that are severe enough to impact the lives of women who choose the Pill for contraception. Plus, YAZ with drsp is also proven to help treat moderate acne. Remember we have FREE OVERNIGHT SHIPPING on YAZ and the Lowest Online YAZ Prices possible!

YAZ DRUG INFO

Generic Name: drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol

Brand Names:
High dose – Yasmin (30 micrograms of estrogen)
Low dose – Yaz (20 micrograms of estrogen)

What is Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol)?
Yaz prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary) and also cause changes in your cervical mucous and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.

The combination of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy. It is also used to treat moderate acne in women who are at least 14 years old and have started having menstrual periods, and who wish to use birth control pills to prevent pregnancy.

This medication is also used to treat the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), such as anxiety, depression, irritability, trouble concentrating, lack of energy, sleep or appetite changes, and feeling out of control. PMDD can also cause physical symptoms such as breast tenderness, joint or muscle pain, headache, and bloating or weight gain.

PMDD is not the same condition as premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Drosperinone and ethinyl estradiol should not be used to treat PMS. Furthermore, it should not be used to treat PMDD unless you have already chosen to use birth control pills as a means of contraception. Yaz may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.

What is the difference between Yaz and Yasmin?
Yaz has the same two active components as Yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol), but Yaz provides a lower dose of estrogen – Yaz provides 20 micrograms of estrogen, while Yasmin provides 30 micrograms. The progesterone levels of both medications are the same. Another difference between Yasmin and Yaz is that Yasmin has 21 active pills and 7 placebo pills; while Yaz has 24 active pills and only 4 placebo pills.

What is the most important information I should know about Yaz?
Yaz can cause birth defects in an unborn baby. Do not use if you are pregnant. Do not use Yaz if you have any of the following conditions: a history of stroke or blood clot, circulation problems (especially if caused by diabetes), a heart valve disorder, breast or uterine cancer, abnormal vaginal bleeding, kidney or liver disease, an adrenal gland disorder, severe high blood pressure, migraine headaches, or a history of jaundice caused by birth control pills. Taking hormones can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack, especially if you smoke and are older than 35. Drospirenone may raise potassium levels in your blood. Other medical conditions can also affect potassium levels, including liver disease, kidney disease, and adrenal gland disorders. Before using Yaz, tell your doctor if you have any of these conditions.

What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Yaz?
Do not take Yaz if you are allergic to drospirenone or ethinyl estradiol, or if you have: uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a heart valve disorder;

- a history of stroke, blood clot, or circulation problems of diabetes;
- kidney or liver disease;
- adrenal gland disorder;
- migraine headaches;
- unusual vaginal bleeding;
- any type of breast, uterine, or hormone-dependent cancer;
- a history of jaundice caused by birth control pills; or
- if you have not yet started having menstrual periods.

Before using Yaz, tell your doctor if you have any of the following conditions. You may not be able to use drosperinone and ethinyl estradiol, or you may need a dosage adjustment or special tests during treatment.

- high blood pressure or heart disease;
- high cholesterol or if you are overweight;
- liver cancer;
- a history of depression;
- gallbladder disease;
- diabetes;
- seizures or epilepsy;
- a history of irregular menstrual cycles; or
- a history of breast or uterine cancer.

FDA pregnancy category X. Yaz can cause birth defects. Do not use Yaz if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment. The hormones in Yaz can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Yaz may also slow breast milk production. Do not use if you are breast-feeding a baby. Drospirenone may raise potassium levels in your blood. Other medical conditions can also affect potassium levels, including liver disease, kidney disease, and adrenal gland disorders. Before using Yaz, tell your doctor if you have any of these conditions.

How should I take Yaz?
Take Yaz exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. You will take your first pill on the first day of your period or on the first Sunday after your period begins (follow your doctor’s instructions).

You may need to use back-up birth control, such as condoms or a spermicide, when you first start using Yaz. Follow your doctor’s instructions.

The 28-day birth control pack contains both “active” and “reminder” pills to keep you on your regular cycle. Your period will usually begin while you are using these reminder pills.

Take one pill every day, no more than 24 hours apart. Taking the pill at night may reduce side effects such as headache and nausea. When the pills run out, start a new pack the following day. You may get pregnant if you do not use Yaz regularly. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of pills completely.

You may have breakthrough bleeding. Tell your doctor if this bleeding continues or is very heavy. If you need to have any type of medical tests or surgery, or if you will be on bed rest, you may need to stop using Yaz for a short time. Any doctor or surgeon who treats you should know that you are using birth control pills.

Your doctor will need to see you on a regular basis while you are using Yaz. Do not miss any appointments. Self-examine your breasts monthly to check for lumps while you are taking Yaz.

Store Yaz at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?
Missing a pill increases your risk of becoming pregnant. Follow the directions on the patient information sheet provided with your medicine. If you do not have an information sheet, call your doctor for instructions if you miss a dose.

If you miss one”active” pill, take the dose as soon as you remember or take two pills at the time of your next regularly scheduled dose. You do not need to use backup birth control.

If you miss two”active” tablets in a row in week one or two, take two tablets each for the next two regularly scheduled doses (one missed tablet plus one regularly scheduled tablet for 2 days in a row). Use another form of birth control for at least 7 days following the missed tablets.

If you miss two “active” tablets in a row in week three, or if you miss three tablets in a row during any of the first 3 weeks, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new package on the same day if you are a Day 1 starter. If you are a Sunday starter, keep taking a pill every day until Sunday. On Sunday, throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack of pills that same day. You may not have a period that month, but this is expected. However, if you miss your period 2 months in a row, call your doctor because you might be pregnant.

If you miss one of the reminder pills in week four, skip that dose and take the next one as directed.

If you miss a pill, you may become pregnant if you have sex in the 7 days after your missed pill. You MUST use another birth control method (such as condoms or spermicides) as a back-up for those 7 days.

What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of Yaz. An overdose of Yaz may cause nausea, vomiting, or vaginal bleeding.

What should I avoid while taking Yaz?
Do not smoke while using Yaz, especially if you are older than 35. Smoking can increase your risk of blood clots, stroke, or heart attack caused by birth control pills. Drosperinone and ethinyl estradiol will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases–including HIV and AIDS. Using a condom is the only way to protect yourself from these diseases.

What are the possible side effects of Yaz?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using Yaz and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects: sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body;

- sudden headache, confusion, pain behind the eyes, problems with vision, speech, or balance;
- chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling;
- a change in the pattern or severity of migraine headaches; – nausea, stomach pain, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
- a breast lump; or
- symptoms of depression (sleep problems, weakness, mood changes).

Continue using the medication and talk with your doctor if you have any of these less serious side effects: – mild nausea, vomiting, bloating, stomach cramps;
- breast pain, tenderness, or swelling;
- freckles or darkening of facial skin, increased hair growth, or loss of scalp hair;
- changes in weight or appetite, swelling of your hands or feet;
- problems with contact lenses;
- vaginal itching or discharge;
- changes in your menstrual periods; or
- headache, nervousness, dizziness.

Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

What other drugs will affect Yaz?
Some drugs can make drosperinone and ethinyl estradiol less effective, which may result in pregnancy. Other drugs may be affected by drosperinone and ethinyl estradiol. Before using Yaz, tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes vitamins, minerals, herbal products, and drugs prescribed by other doctors. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor.

Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist has information about Yaz written for health professionals that you may read. What does my medication look like? Yaz is available with a prescription under the brand name Yasmin. Ask your pharmacist any questions you might have about your medication or about any pills that do not look familiar to you.

Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use Yaz only for the indication prescribed.

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Diflucan

USES: Diflucan is an antifungal agent used to treat infections in certain areas of the body caused by yeast and yeast-like organisms.

HOW TO USE: Diflucan works best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Do this by taking the medication at evenly spaced intervals. Take as directed since different conditions require different methods of use. This drug is usually taken once daily. Another dosing method involves taking the drug for one week per month until treatment is completed. Continue to take Diflucan until the full prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow the yeast to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the infection.

SIDE EFFECTS: Diflucan may cause stomach upset, loss of appetite, altered taste, diarrhea, nausea, headache or dizziness during the first few days as your body adjusts to the medication. If these symptoms persist or become severe, inform your doctor. In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to Diflucan, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
