What Birth Control Can I Take? Will It Assure Safety?

Hi , I am 25 year old unmarried woman and I m really nervous about taking birth control pills yet I need one. Im really confused with the choices as the chemists keep saying theyre safe just to sell it off.I bled badly for 4 days sometime last year after I was assured it was safe.I would be very grateful to you if you could suggest safe birth control pills in India . Thank You

Hi,
You have several choices to make from the wide variety of oral contraceptives available and the side effects experienced vary from combination to combination and from individual to individual, but, essentially, they are hormone-related. It depends on what medication you had and I cannot comment further on why you bled in the past. To be on the safe side, you can choose one of the micro-pills or progesterone-only pills and after a gynecologist assesses you in person for your fitness to consume them. Please do not self-medicate. Hope this helps.
