Hints LAIF 900 Balance Filmtablets
What should you bear in mind?
- The effect of the contraceptive pill may be impaired by the medicine. You should therefore take additional contraceptive measures for the duration of taking the pill.
- Avoid excessive UV radiation, e.g. in solariums or during extended sunbathing, because the skin reacts more sensitively during the use of the medicine.
- Take care if you are allergic to ascorbic acid (vitamin C)!
- Take care if you are allergic to binding agents (e.g. carboxymethylcellulose with the E number E 466)!
- There may be medicinal products with which interactions occur. You should therefore generally inform your doctor or pharmacist of any other medicine you are already taking before starting treatment with a new medicine. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, use only occasionally or have been using for some time.
