Answered by Doctor Vu Van Linh - Vinmec Ha Long International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “Can I change the time of taking the daily pill? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Daily oral contraceptives usually contain estrogen and progesterone (these are two female sex hormones), which have the effect of preventing ovulation, thickening the cervical mucous membrane, preventing ovulation. Prevents sperm from swimming towards the uterus to fertilize, changing the uterine wall not suitable for egg implantation, thus preventing pregnancy. Currently, on the market, there are many daily contraceptive products, divided into two types: blisters of 21 pills and blisters of 28 pills.
Contraceptive pills 28 pills, in addition to 21 pills containing hormonal contraceptives, there are also 7 placebo pills containing sugar or iron, ... do not contain hormone ingredients. Medicines should be taken at a fixed time of the day to avoid forgetting them.
You can change the time you take your birth control pill and should start changing when you take a new pack of pills.
If you still have questions about the daily contraceptive pill, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
