Seasonale is a prescription, extended-cycle combined oral contraceptive used in the United States for pregnancy prevention. Each 91-day pack contains 84 active tablets with levonorgestrel 0.15 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.03 mg, followed by 7 inert tablets. By taking active pills for 12 consecutive weeks and then one week of non-hormonal tablets, many patients experience fewer scheduled withdrawal bleeds—typically four times per year—while maintaining a high degree of contraceptive protection when taken as directed.

As an FDA-approved combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC), Seasonale offers a convenient option for those who prefer fewer monthly periods, improved cycle predictability, and the flexibility of a 91-day regimen. Patients across the USA commonly obtain Seasonale through in-person clinics, telehealth evaluations, and licensed mail-order pharmacies. Comprehensive counseling about risks, benefits, side effects, and proper use is essential before starting therapy, particularly for individuals with risk factors that may increase the likelihood of adverse events with estrogen-containing contraceptives.

Seasonale cost and affordability in the USA

Pricing for Seasonale and its generic equivalents varies based on insurance coverage, pharmacy, and location. Many U.S. health plans cover FDA-approved birth control options with minimal or no out-of-pocket costs. If you are paying cash, the list price for a 91-day pack can differ widely. Generics such as Jolessa, Quasense, or Setlakin typically cost less than the brand-name version and offer the same active ingredients and dosing schedule.

Ways to save on Seasonale or its generics in the USA include:

• Using in-network pharmacies under your insurance plan
• Choosing generic equivalents (Jolessa, Quasense, Setlakin)
• Utilizing manufacturer or pharmacy discount programs
• Ordering via licensed mail-order pharmacies when offered by your insurer

Always verify your final cost at checkout. Pharmacists can advise on formulary options and cost-saving alternatives that fit your benefits.

Where can I get Seasonale in the USA?

You can obtain Seasonale through a prescription from a U.S.-licensed clinician. Many patients complete a brief telehealth intake that reviews medical history, contraindications, and preferences. If appropriate, a clinician issues a prescription that can be filled at a local or mail-order pharmacy. Delivery services ship discreetly to your home address across the United States.

Our partner pharmacy network simplifies the process with clear instructions, reminders, and access to support. If you are switching from another contraceptive or starting for the first time, you’ll receive guidance on when to begin and whether backup contraception is needed during the transition.

Prefer a seamless digital experience? Many U.S. online care platforms offer same-day prescription review and rapid delivery, subject to clinician approval and state regulations.

Is Seasonale right for me?

Seasonale may be suitable if you want reliable contraception with fewer scheduled periods per year. However, it is not appropriate for everyone. Combined hormonal contraceptives carry risks—particularly blood clots—and are contraindicated in certain populations, such as individuals who smoke and are over 35 years old, or those with certain cardiovascular, liver, or migraine conditions. A U.S.-licensed clinician will assess your health history to determine if this method is safe and appropriate for you.

What is Seasonale and how does it work?

Seasonale is an extended-cycle combined oral contraceptive (COC). Each active tablet contains two hormones:

• Levonorgestrel (a progestin)
• Ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen)

When taken daily as directed, Seasonale helps prevent pregnancy by:

• Suppressing ovulation (preventing the release of an egg)
• Thickening cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach an egg
• Altering the endometrium (uterine lining), reducing the likelihood of implantation

The 91-day schedule includes 84 consecutive active tablets followed by 7 inert (placebo) tablets. This design reduces scheduled bleeding to once every 3 months (four times per year), which many users find convenient. Some people may experience breakthrough bleeding or spotting, especially during the first few cycles, which generally improves over time with consistent use.

How to take Seasonale (91-day dosing and start options)

Follow your clinician’s instructions and the U.S. Patient Information Leaflet that comes with your prescription. General guidance includes:

• Take one tablet every day at the same time, in order, until the pack is finished (84 active, then 7 inert).
• Start your next 91-day pack immediately after finishing the inert tablets to maintain protection.
• Consistency matters—try to take your pill at the same hour daily to reduce the chance of spotting and maintain efficacy.

Starting methods (discuss with your clinician):

• First-day start: Begin on day 1 of your menstrual period—backup contraception is typically not required.
• Sunday start: Begin on the first Sunday after menstruation begins—use backup contraception (e.g., condoms) for the first 7 days.
• Quick start: Begin any day after a negative pregnancy test and clinician guidance—use backup contraception for 7 days.

Missed pill instructions

Refer to your package’s U.S. FDA-approved instructions for exact steps. Common guidance for COCs:

• One missed active pill (less than 24 hours late): Take it as soon as you remember and take the next pill at your usual time (you may take two in one day). No backup usually needed.
• Two or more missed active pills (24+ hours late): Take the most recent missed pill ASAP, discard other missed pills, and continue the pack. Use backup contraception for 7 days.
• If missed pills occur during the last week of active tablets: Finish active pills, skip inert tablets, and start a new pack immediately. Use backup for 7 days.

If you vomit or have severe diarrhea within 3–4 hours of taking an active pill, the dose may not be absorbed—take another active pill as soon as you can and consider backup methods. When in doubt, consult your clinician or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

Who should not use Seasonale? (Contraindications)

Combined hormonal contraceptives like Seasonale have important U.S. safety warnings, including a boxed warning for cigarette smoking and serious cardiovascular risks. Do not use Seasonale if any of the following apply to you (not a complete list):

• Smoke cigarettes and are over 35 years old
• Have a history of blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke, or certain clotting disorders
• Have certain heart conditions: coronary artery disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease
• Experience migraine with aura
• Have liver tumors, active liver disease, or severe impairment
• Have known or suspected breast cancer or other estrogen/progestin-sensitive cancers
• Are pregnant
• Have undiagnosed abnormal uterine bleeding
• Are taking certain medications that significantly reduce contraceptive effectiveness (see “Interactions”)

Always share your full medical history with your U.S.-licensed clinician to ensure this method is safe for you.

Potential benefits of extended-cycle contraception

Many users select Seasonale for convenience and fewer scheduled withdrawal bleeds. Extended-cycle regimens may offer:

• Four scheduled bleeding episodes per year instead of monthly
• Fewer period-related symptoms for some users (e.g., cramps)
• Predictable dosing and straightforward routine

Individual experiences vary. Some people will still have spotting or unscheduled bleeding, especially in the first cycles. Good adherence can reduce breakthrough bleeding over time.

Side effects of Seasonale

Most side effects are mild and improve as your body adjusts. Not everyone experiences them. Possible side effects include (not exhaustive):

• Nausea, breast tenderness, or mild headaches
• Breakthrough bleeding or spotting, especially in the first months
• Mood changes
• Changes in menstrual flow timing or intensity
• Fluid retention or slight weight changes

Serious side effects are uncommon but require immediate medical attention. Seek help promptly if you develop symptoms of blood clots or stroke (e.g., sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, leg swelling/pain, severe headaches, vision changes, weakness/numbness).

Black box warning (U.S.)

Smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular events from combined oral contraceptives. This risk increases with age and with heavy smoking (15 or more cigarettes per day), and is particularly marked in those over 35 years of age. Patients who smoke should choose a non-estrogen contraceptive method.

Drug and supplement interactions

Certain medicines and supplements can reduce the effectiveness of Seasonale or increase side effect risks. Inform your clinician and pharmacist about everything you take, including over-the-counter products and herbal supplements. Examples include (not complete):

• Strong CYP3A inducers: rifampin, rifabutin, some anticonvulsants (carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, topiramate), certain antiretrovirals
• Griseofulvin
• St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum)

These may lower hormone levels and reduce contraceptive efficacy. Your clinician might recommend backup contraception or a different method. Always follow individualized guidance.

Effectiveness and when to use backup

When taken perfectly, combined oral contraceptives are highly effective at preventing pregnancy. Typical-use effectiveness is slightly lower due to missed or late pills. To optimize protection:

• Take your pill at the same time daily
• Follow missed pill instructions promptly
• Use backup contraception (e.g., condoms) when advised—such as during the first 7 days of a quick or Sunday start, after certain missed pills, or when taking interacting medications

Note: Seasonale does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Use condoms to reduce STI risk.

What to expect with your periods

With Seasonale, scheduled withdrawal bleeding usually occurs during the 7 inert-tablet days and only four times per year. It’s common to experience spotting or light bleeding during the first cycles, especially if pills are missed or taken inconsistently. This typically decreases as your body adjusts. If breakthrough bleeding persists or becomes bothersome, consult your clinician to rule out other causes and discuss management options.

Starting Seasonale when switching methods

Transition guidance depends on your current method:

• From another combined pill: Start Seasonale the day after finishing active pills of your previous pack. Consider whether backup is needed per your clinician’s advice.
• From a progestin-only pill: Start Seasonale as directed by your clinician; use backup contraception for at least 7 days.
• From injection, implant, or IUD: Your clinician will advise timing based on your current method and cycle; backup may be required for a certain period.

Have a pregnancy test if you’ve had a late start or missed pills with unprotected sex, and follow your clinician’s guidance.

Seasonale vs. similar options (Seasonique, generics)

Seasonale and Seasonique are both extended-cycle COCs containing levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol. The main difference is that Seasonique includes a lower-dose estrogen in the final week instead of inert tablets. Some patients experience less breakthrough bleeding with one formulation versus the other; preferences vary. Generic equivalents of Seasonale—such as Jolessa, Quasense, and Setlakin—offer the same active ingredients and dosing schedule and are commonly more affordable in the USA.

Fertility after stopping Seasonale

Fertility typically returns quickly after discontinuing Seasonale, often within the first normal cycle. Some individuals experience a short delay in the return of menses, which is usually temporary. If you are planning a pregnancy, discuss timing and preconception health with your clinician.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Do not use Seasonale if you are pregnant. If pregnancy is suspected, stop taking the pills and contact your clinician for evaluation. While combined pills are generally not first-line during breastfeeding—particularly in the immediate postpartum period—your clinician may recommend progestin-only methods initially, then reassess combined options later based on your individual situation and U.S. guidelines.

Safety tips from U.S. pharmacists

To get the best results from Seasonale and reduce risks:

• Take the pill at the same time daily
• Use reminders or a pill organizer for adherence
• Know your missed-pill plan and keep instructions handy
• Report severe or persistent side effects promptly
• Tell your clinician about any new diagnoses, changes in smoking status, or new medications/supplements

If you have a history of clotting disorders, certain migraines, liver disease, or other contraindications, your clinician may recommend a non-estrogen method (e.g., progestin-only pill, IUD, implant, or injection).

Common questions about Seasonale

Will I still get periods? Most users will have scheduled withdrawal bleeding four times per year during the inert-tablet week, though flow may be lighter or shorter. Spotting can occur between scheduled bleeds, especially at the start.

Can Seasonale help with acne or cramps? Some people notice improvements in acne or menstrual cramps with combined oral contraceptives; results vary. Discuss expectations with your clinician.

What if I want monthly periods? If you prefer monthly cycles, a traditional 28-day COC may be a better fit. Your clinician can recommend options.

Does Seasonale protect against STIs? No. Use condoms to reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections.

Can I take other medicines with Seasonale? Some drugs and supplements reduce contraceptive efficacy. Always check with your clinician or pharmacist before starting anything new.

Insurance coverage and access in the United States

Most U.S. insurance plans, including many employer-sponsored and marketplace plans, cover FDA-approved birth control methods. Your out-of-pocket cost may be minimal or zero, depending on your plan and the specific product. If a particular brand is not covered, your pharmacist or clinician can suggest equivalent generics with lower copays. Patients without insurance can still access Seasonale or its generics through discount programs, community clinics, or telehealth services that offer transparent pricing.

Telehealth and prescription requirements (USA)

In the U.S., Seasonale requires a prescription. Many patients complete a telehealth evaluation that reviews medical history and screens for contraindications. If appropriate, a prescription is sent electronically to your chosen pharmacy. Delivery is available in many states, often with refill reminders to help you stay on track with your 91-day cycle.

Storage, handling, and missed refills

Store Seasonale at room temperature away from moisture and direct heat. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If you misplace your pack or experience delays in refills, contact your pharmacy or clinician quickly. Depending on timing, you may need backup contraception to maintain protection.

Warnings and when to seek medical care

Stop Seasonale and contact a clinician immediately if you experience any symptoms suggestive of a clot or stroke (e.g., chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache, sudden vision changes, leg pain/swelling). Seek emergency care for severe allergic reactions (rash, swelling, trouble breathing). Report persistent mood changes, significant blood pressure elevations, or signs of liver problems (yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, severe abdominal pain).

Health screening before starting Seasonale

A U.S.-licensed clinician will review your personal and family medical history, blood pressure, migraine status, smoking history, medication list, and any prior issues with hormonal contraception. In some cases, additional evaluation might be recommended before starting Seasonale. This screening helps ensure that the benefits outweigh potential risks for you.
