Diarrhea one hour after taking gianvi combination birth control. never missed a dose, currently in the 2nd week of active pills. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Back up protection: Treat the diarrhea with clear liquids and easy to digest food, avoiding raw foods and things with concentrated sugar like fruit juices and lactose in milk. It is possible that your BC medication may not be absorbed normally, so use condom protection in addition to the pill for the rest of the month for contraception.
