How to take Desogestrel/Ethinyl Estradiol Tablets (Contraceptive Pills)?

Patient's question:

I just had my first baby last year, and he's only one year old. My husband doesn't want to have another child right away. During sex, he doesn't like wearing condoms, so he went to the pharmacy to buy me desogestrel tablets for contraception. He threw away the instructions at the pharmacy. So, I wanted to ask you how to bake desogestrel tablets?

Doctor's answer:

Starting from the first day of menstruation, take one tablet per day for 21 consecutive days, then stop taking the medication for 3 to 7 days to have your period. The time you take the medication should be relatively fixed, such as every night, generally within a specific time frame. You cannot miss any doses while taking desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol tablets. You should take the medication on an empty stomach. If you are breastfeeding, you should not take this medication. As long as you follow the course of treatment without missing any doses, the effectiveness of breastfeeding while taking desogestrel/ethinyl estradiol tablets can reach 99.93%.
