Hi,
Thanks for query,
You can take for pretty long time without side effects.
but as this is hormonal pill short term break is advisable.
During vacation or your husband is out for few days,you may have break about 3-4 months.
ok and bye.

hi
it is low dose contraception pill
it is also use in other condition also
it has chance of side effect if taken for long time
so it is advisable to take 2 month break from the pill and restart it
as u r young age ,it is better to use other safe method like condom .
