Long term contraceptives are directly absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, stored in adipocytes and tissues, and slowly released into the bloodstream, achieving the effect of continuous contraception. Just taking one long-term contraceptive pill per month can maintain the contraceptive effect for about a month. The first pill should be taken at noon on the 5th day of menstruation, and the second contraceptive pill should be taken 5 days later. After about 10 days of taking medication, menstruation has arrived, and medication should not be suddenly stopped during this period. If you want to stop taking pills, you must take short birth control pills on the 5th day of your menstrual cycle for about 3 months, and your body will have a transitional period. However, women who have not given birth cannot eat for a long time. Because there are many hormones inside.

Starting from the fifth day of menstruation, take the first contraceptive pill and take one pill every night for 22 consecutive days without interruption. The contraceptive effect can last up to a month. Do not suddenly interrupt medication. Patients with contraceptive failure or breakthrough bleeding who have been amenorrhea for about 2 months should immediately stop taking medication and observe. The other two different brands of contraceptive pills cannot be mixed.
Warm reminder
Not all people are suitable for taking contraceptives. People with high blood pressure, malignant tumors, breast cancer and genital related cancer cannot take contraceptives. The dosage and usage of drugs for different causes vary, and it is necessary to read the instructions before taking the medication. Otherwise, it can cause serious damage to the liver and kidneys. Long acting contraceptives can be taken continuously for about 3 years, while short acting contraceptives can be taken continuously for 6 years. Long term use should be accompanied by regular physical examinations at the hospital. Women who want to conceive will become pregnant six months later in order to prevent the fetal nervous system from stopping using contraceptives.
