Always discuss potential side effects with your doctor before starting Aygestin. Common side effects include headaches, nausea, and breast tenderness. Some women experience weight changes. Less frequent, but still possible, are mood swings and vaginal bleeding irregularities.
Aygestin can interact with other medications. Specifically, it may influence the effectiveness of certain antibiotics and medications for seizures. Inform your doctor about all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies you are currently taking.
Serious side effects, though rare, include blood clots and liver problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes), shortness of breath, or chest pain.
