Studies show an average relapse rate of around 33%, and in these cases sometimes a second course is given.7,9,12-17 This relapse rate is dose-dependent.13 Patients who receive a cumulative dose of 100-120 mg/kg see the best results and lowest relapse rates.

Question 7

here latley i been having weird periods ill have one two months (not straight) and then the next month i won't have one is this ok...i'm on the pill?

Accepted Answer

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time)  is very common on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time.  If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen  then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.

Question 8

hi there! i'm on birth control and it's my placebo week. about two months ago, i took two pills on accident in one day. am i still protected from pregnancy during the placebo week?

Accepted Answer

: The incident from two months ago would not affect the protection afforded by the pill. It is recommended that you take the pill at about the same time each day. You are protected during the placebo week, if you have been taking it regularly for a month and continue taking the recommended pills.
