If the planned menstruation should occur in me in 8 days, and the doctor prescribed me hormonal contraception today, can I take the Axia Conti pill today and will it be effective immediately? The doctor said that it would be effective from the first time I took it, but I did not ask if I had to take it on the first day of the cycle or if I could at any time of the cycle?

If you start taking Axia Conti on day 1 of your cycle (when bleeding occurs), the contraceptive effectiveness of the medicine is ensured from the 1st tablet. Taking the preparation on another day of the cycle does not ensure the full contraceptive effectiveness of the drug: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/92364/axia-conti-tabletki-powlekane/ulotka/227640 I encourage you to read the additional materials that may be useful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/antykoncepcja-hormonalna https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-prawidlowo-stosowac-antykoncepcje https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jakie-leki-oslabiaja-skutecznosc-antykoncepcji
