　　The active ingredients of contraceptive pills are on the sugar coating to keep the pills intact. They must not get wet, deteriorate, melt, or crumble, otherwise the contraceptive effect will be affected and vaginal bleeding may occur. Do not take the pills with wet hands to prevent the active ingredients from getting off. Medications should be kept in a cool, dry, safe cupboard or cupboard to prevent children from mistakenly eating them as jelly beans and causing adverse reactions.

　　Generally speaking, after taking birth control pills for about half a year, you must stop taking them for 2 to 3 months. Most of the current short-acting contraceptive pills are taken for 21 days and then stopped for 7 days to give the ovaries time to recover.

　　No matter whether the period is clean or not, you must start taking the medicine on the 7th day of menstruation at the latest. Taking it too late will not inhibit ovulation and will affect the contraceptive effect.

　　Do not take two types of short-acting contraceptive pills at the same time within one month. You must stop taking the pills every month instead of taking them continuously for a long time. The body is affected by a large number of hormones, which can cause amenorrhea. Sometimes, stopping the pills can cause massive bleeding or infection.

　　If you still don’t have your period 7 days after taking 21 pills of short-acting contraceptive pills, you should start taking the next month’s pill that night. If you do not have menstruation for 2 consecutive months, you should stop taking the medicine and check the reason. At this time, you should still take other contraceptive measures to avoid pregnancy. You can continue to take short-acting contraceptive pills after menstruation resumes.
