In response to requests from consumers, the FDA Office of Women's Health
has developed a series of drug charts that provide reliable, easy-to-read information
about FDA-approved medicines for specific health problems.
These charts are not intended to replace product labeling but are instead
a tool for consumers to gain very basic information about these products. In
addition, consumers can use the charts to talk with a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist
about the risks and benefits of using their medicines.
The charts in PDF format are designed to be made into booklets.
This can be done by printing a chart professionally or by
assembling the chart into a booklet after printing it on your
personal computer. You will need to follow the instructions
for assembling the booklet to make sure that the pages
are in the right order.

Instructions for Assembling the Charts in Booklet Format
- Step 1: Print on legal sized paper (81/2" by 14").
(You can print on a regular sized sheet of paper but the
print will be smaller)
- Step 2: Print the pages in a one-sized format.
(Do not print on both sides (double-sized or back-to-front.)
- Step 3: You will need to put the pages together by hand
following the page numbers.
- Start with the lowest page number. If the lowest number
is page 3 then staple or tape page 4 to the back of page
3.
- Then take page 5 and connect it with page 6.
- Keep going until you have connected all the pages
back to front.
- Step 4: Stack the pages in order one on top of another.
The cover page with flowers should be on the bottom.
- Step 5: Fold the long pages in half to make a booklet.
