Hello, I have been accepting Mercilon for 4 years. In previous years without any side effects, but recently cellulite has intensified in the area of the thighs and shoulders and I feel swollen and swollen, I have the impression that I have gained weight although my diet has not changed. Does this mean that I have to change my tablets? I will also add that spider veins began to appear on the legs.

Observed side effects of therapy should be reported to the doctor. The risk of side effects increases with the duration of therapy, so if anything bothers you, tell your doctor. The specialist will order additional diagnostic tests, which will help to make a decision about a possible change in the contraceptive. As for spider veins - it is assumed that superficial phlebitis and varicose veins may increase the risk of venous thromboembolism, but there is not enough data on this issue. After all, since these symptoms appeared during the use of Mercilon, it is worth performing tests for thrombosis (they may be ordered by your general practitioner).
