Patient's Query

Hello doctor.

I am a 22-year-old female and have never taken birth control pills before but I want to start now. I have heard that Loryna pills are good. I would like to know the specific way to take them and how they are the most effective.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. You can definitely start taking oral contraceptive pills. Loryna pills are a combination oral contraceptive pill that contains both estrogen and progestin hormones. When taken correctly, it is highly effective at preventing pregnancy. Here are some general guidelines for starting birth control pills:

Many providers recommend starting birth control pills on the first day of your period. This provides immediate protection against pregnancy. Your healthcare professional will advise you on the timing.

Carefully read and follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional and the information leaflet that comes with your medication. Take one pill around the same time each day, even if you are not sexually active.

It may take a few months for your body to adjust to the new hormones. During the initial month, it is advisable to use backup contraception (like condoms) to ensure effectiveness.

Consistency is key for optimal effectiveness. Take your pills at the same time every day, as instructed. If you miss a pill or take it late, refer to the package insert or consult your healthcare provider for guidance.

I hope this helps you.

Thanks.

Regards.
