Enormous harm is caused to a woman by an artificial termination of pregnancy (abortion). Contraceptives will help prevent unwanted fertilization. The tablets contain components (estrogen and progesterone) that interfere with the ovulation process. There are a sufficient number of modern funds in the network of pharmacies. Which drug to choose is decided by the gynecologist. The recommendations of a specialist must be followed. Otherwise, there is a risk of an unwanted pregnancy. In addition, the uncontrolled use of drugs is harmful to health.
Contraceptives (tablets) contain hormones. Substances have similarities with the hormones of the female body. The effectiveness of medications is very high - 99%, provided that the right contraceptive is selected and the annotation is followed. Depending on the amount of content of the components, the drugs are divided into monophasic (mini-drank) and combination tablets.
Contraceptives "Mini-drank"
Such contraceptives should be taken every day, starting from the first day of the onset of menstruation, in the amount of one tablet per day. In case of forgetfulness, skipping the reception of "Mini-drinks" leads to a decrease in their effectiveness by two days. In this case, it is advisable to use other contraceptives.
Combination pills
Modern contraceptives of combined action should be taken, like monophasic drugs, daily. Do not exceed the admission pass by more than 12 hours. If this still happened, you must drink the missed pill. The subsequent dose is not shifted. Disruptions in taking drugs lead to a decrease in their effectiveness for a week. It is recommended to use other contraceptives during this period. Combined birth control pills also reduce their effectiveness when taken with antibiotics, antidepressants, analgesics. In this case, additional safety measures should be provided for the entire period of use of other medicines, plus one more week.
You should know that drinking a lot of alcohol, smoking, and vomiting also reduce the degree of effect of birth control drugs.
