Unscheduled (breakthrough or intracyclic) bleeding and spotting sometimes occur in patients on combination oral contraceptives (COCs), especially during the first three months of use. If bleeding persists or occurs after previously regular cycles, check for causes such as pregnancy or malignancy. Some women may experience amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea after discontinuation of COCs, especially when such a condition was preexistent.

The most common adverse reactions associated with Tarina 24 Fe include headache, vaginal candidiasis, nausea, menstrual cramps, breast tenderness, mood changes, bacterial vaginitis, acne, and weight gain.

The use of COCs increases the risk of arterial thromboses such as strokes and myocardial infarctions, especially in women with other risk factors for these events. COCs have been shown to increase both the relative and attributable risks of cerebrovascular events (thrombotic and hemorrhagic strokes). This risk increases with age, particularly in women over 35 years of age who smoke.
