Before inserting the ring, check that it is not out of date. Wash your hands before inserting or removing the ring. Choose the position for inserting that is most comfortable to you, like standing with one leg up, squatting, or lying down. Remove NuvaRing from its sachet. Hold the ring between your thumb and index finger, press the opposite sides together and insert the ring into the vagina. Alternatively, you may choose to use the NuvaRing Applicator (not included with NuvaRing) to help you insert the ring. The NuvaRing Applicator may not be available in all countries. When NuvaRing is in place you should not feel anything. If you feel uncomfortable, gently push NuvaRing a bit farther into the vagina. The exact position of the ring inside the vagina is not important. After 3 weeks you remove NuvaRing from the vagina. You can do this by hooking your index finger under the front rim of the ring or by grasping the rim and pulling it out. If you locate the ring in your vagina, but are unable to remove it, you should contact your doctor. Dispose of the used ring with the normal household waste, preferably inside the reclosable sachet. Do not flush NuvaRing down the toilet.
Keep out of the reach and sight of children. Read the enclosed leaflet before taking. Talk to your doctor before taking if you are taking any other medication, suffer from blood clots, if you have had an operation, been off your feet for a long time, had a heart attack or stroke, have high blood pressure, have inflammation of the pancreas, have severe liver disease, unexplained bleeding, have a high level of fat in the blood, suffer from migraines or suffer from diabetes.
