A member asked:

Ortho-cept bcp effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prevent pregnancy!: If you are asking about side effects, they are the same as any birth control pill. You should receive a package insert that goes into details about the possible effects. It is a potent pill and has less risk of break through bleeding compared to other pills.
