Patient's question:
Now, my husband and I don't have any plans to have children. I have been taking drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets for breastfeeding. The day before yesterday, I was too tired from training and forgot to take my medication. Will the effectiveness of breastfeeding be affected if I miss taking drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets for just one day?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone tablets are taken orally accidentally, it may affect the normal efficacy and may also cause withdrawal bleeding. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to safety. If there is sexual activity on the day of accidental ingestion, there is a possibility of unintended pregnancy. It is recommended to take measures such as maintaining hygiene and taking the missed dose as soon as possible. Alternatively, it is advised to take emergency contraception to prevent unintended pregnancy. It is recommended to follow the prescribed course of medication for better results.
