Take one tablet by mouth at the same time every day for 28 days (2.1) Take tablets in the order directed on the blister pack (2.1) Tarina 24 Fe may be administered without regard to meals (12.3) 2.1 How to Start Tarina 24 Fe Tarina 24 Fe is available in a blister pack [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling (16) ]. Tarina 24 Fe may be started using either a Day 1 start or a Sunday start (see Table 1). For the first cycle of a Sunday Start regimen, an additional method of contraception must be used until after the first 7 consecutive days of administration. 2.2 How to Take Tarina 24 Fe Table 1: Instructions for Administration of Tarina 24 Fe Starting COCs in women not currently using hormonal contraception (Day 1 Start or Sunday Start) Important: Consider the possibility of ovulation and conception prior to initiation of this product. Tablet Color: • Tarina 24 Fe active tablets are light yellow to yellow (Day 1 to Day 24). • Tarina 24 Fe inactive tablets are brown (Day 25 to Day 28). Day 1 Start: • Take first light yellow to yellow active tablet without regard to meals on the first day of menses. • Take subsequent active tablets once daily at the same time each day for a total of 24 days. • Take one brown inactive tablet daily for 4 days and at the same time of day that active tablets were taken. • Begin each subsequent pack on the same day of the week as the first cycle pack (i.e., on the day after taking the last inactive tablet). Sunday Start: For each 28-day course, take in the following order: • Take the light yellow to yellow active tablet without regard to meals on the first Sunday after the onset of menses. Due to the potential risk of becoming pregnant, use additional non-hormonal contraception (such as condoms and spermicide) for the first 7 days of the patient’s first cycle pack of Tarina 24 Fe . • Take subsequent active tablets once daily at the same time each day for a total of 24 days. • Take one brown tablet (ferrous fumarate) daily for the following 4 days and at the same time of day that active tablets were taken. A scheduled period should occur during the 4 days that the brown tablets are taken. • Begin each subsequent pack on the same day of the week as the first cycle pack (i.e., on the Sunday after taking the last inactive tablet) and additional non-hormonal contraceptive is not needed. Switching to Tarina 24 Fe from another oral contraceptive Start on the same day that a new pack of the previous oral contraceptive would have started. Switching from another contraceptive method to Tarina 24 Fe Start Tarina 24 Fe: • Transdermal patch • On the day when next application would have been scheduled. • Vaginal ring • On the day when next insertion would have been scheduled. • Injection • On the day when next injection would have been scheduled. • Intrauterine contraceptive • On the day of removal • If the IUD is not removed on first day of the patient’s menstrual cycle, additional non-hormonal contraceptive (such as condoms and spermicide) is needed for the first seven days of the first cycle pack. • Implant • On the day of removal Starting Tarina 24 Fe after Abortion or Miscarriage First-trimester After a first-trimester abortion or miscarriage, Tarina 24 Fe may be started immediately. An additional method of contraception is not needed if Tarina 24 Fe is started immediately. If Tarina 24 Fe is not started within 5 days after termination of the pregnancy, the patient must use additional non-hormonal contraception (such as condoms and spermicide) for the first 7 days of her first 28-day course of Tarina 24 Fe. Second-trimester Do not start until 4 weeks after a second-trimester abortion or miscarriage, due to the increased risk of thromboembolic disease. Start Tarina 24 Fe following the instructions in Table 1 for Sunday start. Use additional non-hormonal contraception (such as condoms and spermicide) for the first 7 days of the patient’s first 28-day course of Tarina 24 Fe [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Starting Tarina 24 Fe after Childbirth Do not start until 4 weeks after delivery, due to the increased risk of thromboembolic disease. Start contraceptive therapy with Tarina 24 Fe following the instructions in Table 1 for women not currently using hormonal contraception. If the woman has not yet had a period postpartum, consider the possibility of ovulation and conception occurring prior to use of Tarina 24 Fe [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.1) , Use in Specific Populations (8.1 and 8.2) ]. 2.3 Missed Tablets Table 2: Instructions for Missed Tarina 24 Fe Tablets If one active tablet is missed in Weeks 1, 2 or 3 Take the tablet as soon as possible. Take the next pill at the regular time and continue taking one tablet a day until the pack is finished. Back-up contraception is not needed If two consecutive active tablets are missed in Week 1 or Week 2 Take the two missed tablets as soon as possible and the next two active tablets the next day. Continue taking one tablet a day until the pack is finished. Additional non-hormonal contraception (such as condoms and spermicide) must be used as back-up if the patient has sex within 7 days after missing tablets. If two consecutive active tablets are missed in Week 3 or Week 4 or three or more consecutive active tablets are missed at any time Day 1 Start: Throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack that same day. Sunday Start: Continue taking one tablet a day until Sunday, then throw out the rest of the pack and start a new pack that same day. Additional non-hormonal contraception (such as condoms and spermicide) must be used as back-up if the patient has sex within 7 days after missing tablets. 2.4 Advice in Case of Gastrointestinal Disturbances In case of severe vomiting or diarrhea, absorption may not be complete and additional contraceptive measures must be taken. If vomiting or diarrhea occurs within 3 to 4 hours after taking a light yellow to yellow tablet, handle this as a missed tablet [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ].

The safety of norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets were evaluated in 743 subjects who participated in an open-label, randomized, active-controlled, multicenter clinical trial of norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets for contraception. This trial examined healthy, non-pregnant volunteers aged 18 to 45 years, who were sexually active and had a body mass index of less than or equal to 35 kg/m 2 . Subjects were followed for up to six 28-day cycles providing a total of 3,823 treatment-cycles of exposure. Common Adverse Reactions ( greater than or equal to 2% of all subjects): The most common adverse reactions reported by at least 2% of the 743 women using norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets were the following, in order of decreasing incidence: headache (6.3%), vaginal candidiasis (6.1%), nausea (4.6%), menstrual cramps (4.4%), breast tenderness (3.4%), mood changes (including mood swings (2.2%) and depression (1.1%), bacterial vaginitis (3.1%), acne (2.7%), and weight gain (2.0%). Adverse Reactions Leading to Study Discontinuation : Among the 743 women using norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets, 46 women (6.2%) withdrew because of an adverse event. Adverse events occurring in 3 or more subjects leading to discontinuation of treatment were, in decreasing order: abnormal bleeding (0.9%), nausea (0.8%), mood changes (0.8%), menstrual cramps (0.4%), increased blood pressure (0.4%), and irregular bleeding (0.4%). 6.2 Postmarketing Experience Five studies that compared breast cancer risk between ever-users (current or past use) of COCs and never-users of COCs reported no association between ever use of COCs and breast cancer risk, with effect estimates ranging from 0.90 to 1.12 (Figure 1). Three studies compared breast cancer risk between current or recent COC users (<6 months since last use) and never users of COCs (Figure 1). One of these studies reported no association between breast cancer risk and COC use. The other two studies found an increased relative risk of 1.19 to 1.33 with current or recent use. Both of these studies found an increased risk of breast cancer with current use of longer duration, with relative risks ranging from 1.03 with less than one year of COC use to approximately 1.4 with more than 8 to 10 years of COC use. Figure 1: Relevant Studies of Risk of Breast Cancer with Combined Oral Contraceptives RR = relative risk; OR = odds ratio; HR = hazard ratio. “ever COC” are females with current or past COC use; “never COC use” are females that never used COCs. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post approval use of norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol tablets and ferrous fumarate tablets. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is difficult to reliably estimate their frequency or evaluate a causal relationship to drug exposure. Cardiovascular: chest pain, palpitations, tachycardia, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction. Endocrine disorders: hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism. Eye disorders: blurred vision, visual impairment, transient blindness, corneal thinning, change in corneal curvature (steepening). GI disorders : nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, pancreatitis. Hepatobiliary disorders: cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, hepatic adenoma, hemangioma of liver. Immune system disorders: anaphylactic reactions, including urticaria, angioedema, and severe reactions with respiratory and circulatory symptoms. Infections: vaginal infection. Metabolism and nutrition disorders : change in weight or appetite (increase or decrease). hypoglycemia, diabetes mellitus, anemia. Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders: myalgia. Skin and subcutaneous disorders: alopecia, rash (generalized and allergic), pruritus, skin discoloration, night sweats, swelling face or lips, hirsutism, skin burning sensation, erythema multiforme, erythema nodosum, hemorrhagic eruption. Nervous system disorders: headache, dizziness, migraine, hyperesthesia, paraesthesia, hypoaesthesia, somnolence, loss of consciousness, sensory disturbance. Psychiatric disorders: mood swings, depression, insomnia, anxiety, suicidal ideation, panic attack, changes in libido, bipolar disorder, dissociation, homicidal ideation. Renal and urinary disorders: pollakiuria, dysuria, cystitis-like syndrome. Reproductive system and breast disorders: breast changes (tenderness, pain, enlargement, and secretion), premenstrual syndrome, ovarian cyst, pelvic pain, ovarian cyst ruptured, pelvic fluid collection. Vascular disorders: hot flush, thrombosis/embolism (coronary artery, pulmonary, cerebral, deep vein), migraine, transient ischemic attack, ischemic stroke. figure

Consult the labeling of concurrently used drugs to obtain further information about interactions with oral contraceptives or the potential for enzyme alterations. Drugs or herbal products that induce certain enzymes (for example CYP3A4) may decrease the effectiveness of COCs or increase breakthrough bleeding. Counsel patients to use a back-up method or alternative method of contraception when enzyme inducers are used with COCs. (7.1) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on Combined Oral Contraceptives Substances decreasing the plasma concentrations of COCs and potentially diminishing the efficacy of COCs: Drugs or herbal products that induce certain enzymes, including cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), may decrease the plasma concentrations of COCs and potentially diminish the effectiveness of COCs or increase breakthrough bleeding. Some drugs or herbal products that may decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives including phenytoin, barbiturates, carbamazepine, bosentan, felbamate, griseofulvin, oxcarbazepine, rifampicin, topiramate, rifabutin, rufinamide, aprepitant, and products containing St. John’s wort. Interactions between COCs and other drugs may lead to breakthrough bleeding and/or contraceptive failure. Counsel women to use an alternative method of contraception or a back-up method when enzyme inducers are used with COCs, and to continue back-up contraception for 28 days after discontinuing the enzyme inducer to ensure contraceptive reliability. Substances increasing the plasma concentrations of COCs : Co-administration of atorvastatin or rosuvastatin and certain COCs containing ethinyl estradiol (EE) increase AUC values for EE by approximately 20 to 25%. Ascorbic acid and acetaminophen may increase plasma EE concentrations, possibly by inhibition of conjugation. CYP3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, voriconazole, fluconazole, grapefruit juice, or ketoconazole may increase plasma hormone concentrations. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/Hepatitis C virus (HCV) protease inhibitors and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors: Significant changes (increase or decrease) in the plasma concentrations of estrogen and/or progestin have been noted in some cases of co-administration with HIV protease inhibitors (decrease [e.g., nelfinavir, ritonavir, darunavir/ritonavir, (fos)amprenavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir, and tipranavir/ritonavir] or increase [e.g., indinavir and atazanavir/ritonavir])/HCV protease inhibitors or with non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (decrease [e.g., nevirapine] or increase [e.g., etravirine]). 7.2 Effects of Combined Oral Contraceptives on Other Drugs COCs containing EE may inhibit the metabolism of other compounds (e.g., cyclosporine, prednisolone, theophylline, tizanidine, and voriconazole) and increase their plasma concentrations. COCs have been shown to decrease plasma concentrations of acetaminophen, clofibric acid, morphine, salicylic acid, and temazepam. Significant decrease in plasma concentration of lamotrigine has been shown, likely due to induction of lamotrigine glucuronidation. This may reduce seizure control; therefore, dosage adjustments of lamotrigine may be necessary. Women on thyroid hormone replacement therapy may need increased doses of thyroid hormone because the serum concentration of thyroid-binding globulin increases with use of COCs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.12) ]. 7.3 Concomitant Use with HCV Combination Therapy – Liver Enzyme Elevation Co-administration of Tarina 24 Fe with HCV drug combinations containing ombitasvir/ paritaprevir/ritonavir, with or without dasabuvir is contraindicated due to potential for ALT elevations [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]. Co-administration of Tarina 24 Fe and glecaprevir/pibrentasvir is not recommended due to potential for ALT elevations. 7.4 Interactions with Laboratory Tests The use of contraceptive steroids may influence the results of certain laboratory tests, such as coagulation factors, lipids, glucose tolerance, and binding proteins.
