Patient's question:
Hello, I have just finished my menstrual cycle and would like to use medication. I'm not sure when to start taking Mifeprex, and I don't know how effective it is. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, oral contraceptives are not affected by time.Mefloquine is a new-generation short-acting oral contraceptive, with two main components: estrogen and progestogen. Start with one tablet on the first day of your menstrual cycle and take it continuously for 21 days. After 7 days, begin a new cycle.
Although Mefloquine has very few side effects, it is not recommended for long-term use, as it is still a hormone medication. Generally, it is acceptable to use it for 3 to 6 months. If used for too long, problems may arise. It may lead to irregular menstruation, weight gain, and other side effects, depending on individual differences in constitution. Some people experience noticeable side effects, while others have almost none.
