Contraceptive pills: without unnecessary doubts and... excess weight

The history of contraception goes back thousands of years. People have resorted to different ways to avoid unwanted pregnancy, including dangerous ones. Modern contraceptives, such as condoms, vaginal devices, and IUDs, are largely based on ancient methods.

The introduction of hormonal contraceptive pills in the 1960s was a real revolution. Women received the long-awaited freedom of relationships. But the first drugs caused side effects, including weight gain. This has led to the myth that such pills inevitably lead to obesity.

However, over the past decades, the composition of the drugs has greatly improved. Modern low-dose combined contraceptives rarely cause side effects. Moreover, they are used to treat conditions such as acne, PMS, and heavy menstruation.

The active ingredient drospirenone, which is included in the popular tablets with the “24+4” regimen, does not provoke weight gain. This drug is effective in the treatment of acne and PMS.

The main thing is the correct dosage regimen, which provides high contraceptive protection. Modern calendar packaging helps you not to miss a pill. But you can start taking it only as prescribed by your doctor.

Don't be afraid of the myths of the past. Modern contraceptives allow you to enjoy life without unnecessary fears and excess weight.
