I am getting married next month. I wanted to know the birth control pills available and how safe are they. Do I need to consult a doctor or the pills can be taken from a chemist? If it can be taken from Chemist, kindly advise one.

Hi, lybrate-user please consult a doctor before starting a birth control pill as your BP needs to be checked. Then history needs to be taken like any history of migraines or vein thrombosis. Also you need to take some blood tests to assess that you are fit to take these medicines. Lastly there are many kinds of birth pills and the gynaecologist can help you decide which one is best for you.
