Hi! I have pcos and my doctor advise me to use althea on the first day of my menstruation to regulate my mens. After 8 days of my last menstruation day, I bleed. I thought its my menstruation as I am irregular. But, during my 1st day of bleeding, it was very light. I only used 2 panty liners. After the 1st pill, bleeding turns to brown and it stop so I stop taking althea as I am thinking that it was only ovulation bleeding. Is it right to stop taking althea and am I correct that it's an ovulation bleeding? Pls help thanks. ## i've been using althea pills since i was also diagnose with PCOS. for me its natural to have that kind of blood color if you bleed. as for me the first time i took althea its very light red almost transparent then brownish. i just continue using althea then...

3 days since I started to take pills, but on the 3rd day I was groggy and I wanted to vomit. I think they may diagnose me with fatty liver if I continue drinking, but I don't know if i can keep taking this. ## Hello... I have read the side effects you say you are having and I think it might be fatty liver. I think you should have some tests run for this just to make sure since you might need a different medicine. ## Hi.

i stopped using Althea on my second pack becoz i can't bear anymore the constant hunger pangs, terrible dizziness, vomiting. And it made my body gained weight fast! It made my boobs much bigger too. Not really worth it, made wary to take other pills tbh. The side effects that i endured esp the dizziness are unbearable. Hopefully new users won't have the same problems i encountered. I am not recommening this pill though. ## Hello First time ko dn magtake ng althea pills Tanong ko lang normal ba Yung everyday spotting?? hnd naman ako nahihilo Nakakamiss n ko siang pack at pang 3 days free pills ko na ngyon..

Hello, I just read in the instructions inside of the box of Althea pills that drinking althea together with Isoniazide may take effect. I need Isoniazide because I am under treatment for tuberculosis, and I just had a boyfriend and I personally decided to take pills as contraceptive instead of condoms. I just took my 1st pill today. Is that okay while I am under treatment for TB? Your response is much appreciated. Thank you.

ask ko lang po kasi nagpachch up ako and the doctor gave me althea, but ever since i take it i always have dysmennorhea, its my first tym using it. ## Hello, Aleakim! How are you doing? Have you discussed this issue with your doctor? There should be a different oral contraceptive that they can prescribe for you that may not cause you to suffer dysmenorrhea. There is more than one option available, so sometimes when a woman has problems with one, there may be a different one that works well for her. ## thanks. i havent discussed t yet with my doctor, but mybe this comig tuesday, i will. tnx ## Hi, I'm worried right now because my 2 year old son swallowed 4 pills today, he thought it was candy and i wasnt able to see him getting my pills inside my bag, I'm very worried right now, ...

I forgot to take 1 pill in the first pack. I saw that I still had my last pill. It is possible to get pregnant? ## Yes, every time you miss a pill, there is a risk of pregnancy, according to NIH reports, though the risk is not very high, if you only missed one tablet. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and irregular bleeding. If you are concerned, there is never any harm in checking for pregnancy, to be sure. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am on my 4th month of taking althea...

Hi! Its me pisces.. please help me. I used althea pills for the the last 3 yeas exactly last dec 1, 2013. I stop using it for almost a year now. And i noticed that during those years that im using it i got a fair skin. However today after i stop for a year i saw pimples coming on my face evryday. I tried lots of products but still not working. I decided to use althea again just this dec 26. But i felt different. Is it normal? do you think althea will bring my confidence again? Im worried about my face. Im facing to a lot of people everyday because of my job. Will it really help me to remove my pimples? for how long? thank you most sincerely.

Hi. I bought althea pills over the counter. I have irregular menstration and i just took the pill based on the day stated there. I was taking the pill for 4days already. On my 3rd day. I feel soo down and i feel sick. Is this a common effect for taking the pill or not? And also on the 2nd and 3rd day. I took it always 1 hr late for example i took the pill at 2.30pm on the next day i took it at 3.30. Then on the 4th day i go bavk to 2.30. Is that okey? Is the pill still effective. Thanks for the answer. ## Yes common side effect yan, usually nawawala within 3 months pero minsan tumatagal ng 6, it depends. As for taking it late, I think it doesn't matter as long as di lalampas ng 12 hours, so you're fine.

Hi! It's my first day for the 7 free pill days but I wasn't so sure if i'm protected w/o taking any pill so i took 1 pill for my next pack. Should i stop or continue taking the rest of the pills? If i'll stop when will I continue? Is it safe to just continue another pack? Thank u. ## Hello, Jane! How are you? Yes, you are still protected during the 7 free days, there is no need to take pills during that time period, according to NIH instructions. Usually, you should just continue on and start a new pack on the day your normally would, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise. The typical side effects of oral contraceptives may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and spotting. Is there anything else I can help with? ## It's my 1st time to us...

hi. i'm suffering hormonal imbalance for 3 months and my ob told me to use althea for 6 months after using provera. i'm really afraid to use pills. is der any way to regulate my period without using those pills? ## For the best outcome and success, it is best to follow your doctor's instructions. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irregular bleeding, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. Why are you afraid to take them? It might be easier for you, if those specific issues are addressed. ## Should I continue tab meprate 10mg even if I experience brown spotting? It started after 10days of medication on meprate.

Hi im starting to take Althea pill today for my first pill its my 5th day or last day of menstruation is it ok if i take the 5th pill as i started friday which my 5th day period?? ## No, you should still start with the first tablet, and you should be aware that it will take 7 days to become effective at preventing pregnancy, since you've started it so late in your cycle. The NIH warns that its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, irregular bleeding, and PMS-like symptoms.

Hi, I started taking the althea pill last night, but i had intercourse on the same night and by the next day without using any contraceptives like withdrawal or condoms, but it's still within the 7 days period after my menstruation. Am i still protected against pregnancy? ## If you started taking them on the first or second day of your period, then you are protected against pregnancy, however, if you started it on any day later than that, there may be a chance that you are pregnant and you should have yourself check for it, according to NIH reports. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, and PMS-like symptoms. When did you start taking it? ## I had my period aug 21 and started with althea aug 28...at first 7days of taking...
