Hello, I have been taking Yaz tablets for several years and everything was fine, I am a week after arthroscopy and I am taking opioid medication. Today I started staining and took the 19th tablet from the blister. Could this be related? What to do in this case

Taking opioid medications after arthroscopy can affect the body in a variety of ways, including the endocrine system. Yaz are birth control pills that also affect the endocrine system. The combination of these two factors can affect the menstrual cycle. Spotting can be the result of hormonal changes or drug interactions. To determine the cause of spotting and possible drug interactions, I encourage you to make an appointment with your gynecologist who will adjust the treatment according to your current clinical condition. Please also do not stop your current treatment without consulting your doctor. Any modifications in therapy, including discontinuation of the drug, should be introduced after consultation with the attending physician acquainted in detail with your health condition: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czy-jak-i-kiedy-mozna-odstawic-leki If you do not have the possibility of a stationary visit, I encourage you to use teleadvice, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-ginekologiem The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book a medicine in the selected stationary pharmacy and collection upon presentation of a prescription: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/84769/yaz-tabletki-powlekane/apteki
