It is worth looking for drugs containing extracts of lemon balm, hop cones, valerian. They have a calming effect and can be safely used together with oral contraception. These are over-the-counter drugs such as m.in. Valerin (https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/81232/valerin-max-tabletki-powlekane/apteki), Valused (https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/81322/valused-kapsulki/apteki), Neospasmina Extra (https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/28856/neospasmina-extra-extraspasmina-kapsulki/apteki). However, please remember to avoid preparations containing St. John's wort extracts (e.g. St. John's wort Fix, Hyperherba), as it may weaken the effectiveness of hormonal contraception.
