Hello Doctor,
I started my period on Tuesday, and today my doctor prescribed me the birth control Junel. I’m not sure when I should start taking it. Should I start today, or do I need to wait until my next cycle?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It depends on the type of Junel you were prescribed. Some birth control pills can be started immediately, while others may require you to wait until the first day of your next period or the Sunday after your period starts. Please read the instructions on the package carefully, as they will provide specific guidance. If you're unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist to ensure proper use and effectiveness.
Thanks
