If you will be having surgery or will be confined to a chair or bed for a long time (such as on a long plane flight), special precautions may need to be taken while taking Angeliq due to the increased risk of blood clots.

Angeliq is contraindicated in patients with renal impairment due to the risk of hyperkalemia. It is also contraindicated in patients with hepatic impairment because of the risk of increased drospirenone exposure and subsequent hyperkalemia.

Always inform your healthcare provider about any other medications or supplements you are currently taking, as they may interact with Angeliq.

Angeliq is not indicated for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you become pregnant while taking Angeliq, discontinue its use and consult your healthcare provider.
