Hi,

Yes, headaches are a common side effect of taking oral contraceptives pills like cyclacur which usually improve over time. The white tablets contain hormone estradiol and the brown tablets contain a combination of estradiol and norgestrel (progestogen). In case if headaches do not subside your doctor would prescribe a different type of pill with a different dose of estradiol and/or a different type of progestogen.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
