Yes, Atywia, as a combined hormonal contraceptive, increases the risk of blood clots, especially in the first year of use. This risk is higher in women with additional risk factors, such as obesity or smoking.
If you decide to stop taking the pills, the risk of thrombosis returns to normal within a few weeks. However, it is always recommended to consult with a doctor before deciding to stop using any hormonal medications.
Discontinuing Atywia before the end of the full cycle (on day 8) may affect the effectiveness of contraception and lead to irregular bleeding. The drug should be taken for 21 days, followed by a 7-day break. If you decide to stop using it, it is worth consulting your doctor to discuss alternative methods of contraception and possible health effects.
