Can I use MYWY if I smoke cigarettes?
Hi, the doctor prescribed me MYWY tablets, I note that I have never taken contraception. While reading the leaflet I learned that you can not take them if you smoke cigarettes and I do not know what to do? I am after two CC and I did not smoke feeding so the doctor did not know that I started smoking again. I do not know if I can start taking them or not?

As a rule - although tobacco does not have a negative effect on the operation of contraceptive pills, its smoking while taking medications can have other, very serious consequences. Especially after the age of 35, there is a high risk of thromboembolic complications. This is because the two-component pills upset the balance of the blood coagulation system. You should be aware that blood clots or congestion can lead to heart attack and stroke. It is worth knowing that smoking cigarettes also promotes thromboembolic complications, so combining cigarettes and contraception is a great risk to health and life. In your situation, in my opinion, either quitting smoking or other methods of contraception should be considered.
