i suggest you should continue the pack...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
If you have already started Novelon for last 2 weeks then it is suggested that you should continue the pills and complete the pack. the symptoms of nausea , headache , mood swings are common and can be tackled with increasing water intake during the day. iF YOU decide to stop it in the mid cycle then you shall not stand protected against pregnancy during the cycle and have to opt for an additional contraceptive measure during the month.

Thank you very much for your answer. I will follow your suggestion. I have another query about this, I can't eat food properly for this smell, and taste. Can you suggest me some food which I can take except my usual meal ( rice, Fish, meat etc.). I have also little pain in my lower abdomen is this also for this pill?

Detailed Answer:
hello,
You can continue your normal staple diet of fish meat and rice, just add TAB DOXINATE 1 tab twice a day for next 7 days . This shall take care of your nausea and distaste aswell.

Yes , there is a possibility that you may experience mild abdominal cramps when you are on oc pills and its due to the progesterone effect. you may increase your water intake and maintain hydration, this shall help you overcome that pain , and if required hot fomentation may also be helpful.
