It is not recommended to change contraceptives without going to the gynecologist to avoid putting your health at risk or having a pregnancy unexpected. There is a wide variety of birth control pills and your body may react differently to each of them.
The indication of the ideal drug for each woman is very important, since some contraceptives increase the risk of AVC (leakage), infarction, cardiac arrest and thrombosis.
This is because the contraceptive can make the blood thicker, which increases the risk of clots
At the time of choosing the medication, the doctor takes into account possible risk factorssuch as heart problems, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and obesity, because in those cases the risk of heart attack is even greater.
Therefore, it is up to the gynecologist or family physician or the general practitioner to identify the pill with fewer side effects and to offer less risk to the patient, as well as guiding the correct way to make the contraceptive exchange.
