You may take it any time as long as you're not pregnant, basta for first time user, use protection for the first 7 days. follow up your 2nd pack din accordingly. 8th day after ng last pill sa previous pack.

me too, nagpimple ng first few days, i think that's normal. pero after a week or two, kuminis ng husto face ko and hindi pa ako nagkakapimple ever since I started taking it. i don't have pimples naman to begin with pero na-lessen din ang oiliness. Some of our patients before experience side effect but disappears after a month or two.


Sis gaano kna katagal gumagamit ng althea? pang 7days ko na kanina,[textspeak!] partner ko ayaw gumamit ng condom. panu un, pag nag sex kmi w/o condom mabubuntis ako?

6 months sis. I like the effect sa skin ko, ang kinis talaga and hindi ako nagpipimple.

Basta after 7 days sis, safe na yun. anytime, even if nasa pill free days ka, hindi ka mabubuntis provided that you're taking it everyday, preferably same time each day.  wag ka lang magmimiss, very effective ang pills. also, follow up will your next pack on the recommended date, 8th day after your last pill from previous pack.

sis first time user ka ba? dapat kung first time first day ng mens mo. alanganin iyong pag inom mo.  itigil mo na lang muna then pag nagka mens ka dun mo ulit simulan.

Sis, gusto ko mag take sana ng althea dahil gusto ko sana maregular period ko at baka mawala pimples ko, minsan kasi 1-3months na delayed, last year nag consult ako sa OBgyn ko at ayoko na bumalik sa kanya kasi nakakatamad sya sabi ba naman saken last year 'oh, bat bigla ka nabahala na irregular ka? yun na ang regular mo' parang nakakawalang gana..sabi ko kasi simula nagkaron ako nung bata pa ko ganun na,never naging monthly or napaka dalang talaga nya,btw 23yrs old na ko ngayon. Pero binigyan nya ko nun ng Provera (8pcs lang ata 1/day) tapos pag di pa daw ako dinatnan balik daw sakanya,nagkameron naman ako nung time na yun,sakto dun sa last pill na binigay nya pero di na ko babalik sakanya. Gusto ko sana mag take na lang ng althea without prescription since OTC naman ang althea eh, ang plan ko itry sya ng 3months,pag di ako hiyang titigil ko sya sa ika 3rd month para maka sure kung di nga hiyang.

What do you think mga sis?

^ yes sis. if tuloy2x intake mo without miss sa time and pill, effective yan. just take the entire pack of pills diligently, again, very effective yan.

as for the symptoms or discomfort you are experiencing, it's common sa first few days or weeks. remember this is a hormonal pill that alters your body's usual rhythm, so you really can't rely on symptoms that you're feeling as indication of pregnancy. Ako dati sa ganyan din, but now wala na ako nararamdaman at all after taking pills. hinihintay ko nalang menstruation ko 5 days after my last pill. yung iba naman, 4th day, some, 3rd.

if the symptoms are causing you too much discomfort or uneasiness, visit an OB sis.

Thanks sis.. OTC parin sya diba? Balak ko itake this June pag dumating na 1st mens or baka July or August di ko sure kasi nga irregular ako. Di ko naman habol yung contraception eh (at least not now hehe),since di naman namin ginagawa yun ni bf,so no worries naman about dun. Kaya ko naman siguro yung slight dizziness wag lang sobra, sana lang wag maapektuhan masyado yung mood ko. Kelangan sa work yung good mood talking with clients.

Hi sissy’s! Share ko lang my expirience with this pill (Althea) 1st time user ako, and naka 1 pack na ako. Nag ka mens na din ako, tommorow is my 8th day (After 7days free pills day) So i should take my 1st pill for 2nd pack. The side effects to me are, SUPER HEADACHE (But not daily, its like alternate) SUPER ANTUKIN! PA ISA ISANG PIMPLES! :/ And I got slow flow mens. Unlike my usual flow, (Malakas kasi mens ko.) Thats all! What do you think guys? Should i switch to another brand?

It would not hurt to switch.

I used to be a Diane user and endured the dizziness it caused me. I tried Althea and I felt much better.

Ima use this again kasi I'm fixing my period. No menstration dapat on my wedding day.

@ TeenMom17

with pills sis, magiging mahina talaga mens mo. that's normal. It will also decrease menstrual cramps. Yun ang purpose nya actually. Side effects such as headache, possible na mawala after few months of use. Occasional pimple, happened to me rin pero nawala after my first pack. In fact, hindi na ako nagkakapimple ngayon.

It's up to you if you'll switch agad.

hi! nagstart ulit ako mag althea after ilang years. OB ko naman ang nagsabi dahil naging irregular ang mens ko dahil sa pcos. kaya lang last monday hindi pala ako nakainom, tapos kagabi ang ininom ko ay yung pang tuesday. so laktaw ng monday. ok lang ba yun? nagkamali kasi ako, dapat pala ang ininom ko ay pang monday para ngayon ang pang tuesday at paging tama na mamayang gabi.

paano na kaya yun?

nagkapimple ako while using my first pack, siguro mga 3,pero hindi naman malaki, hindi din ako pinipimple, madalang lang, kapag puyat, pero yun, nawala din pang 3rd pack ko na ngayon, mukhang wala na namang side effects, nakapag-adjust na ata katawan ko din, ang worry ko lang, baka magcause to ng panlalabo ng mata ko, may nabasa kasi ako dito before na ganon.

^ang alam ko ang diane 35 and althea ay have same chemical composition and dosage. just correct me if im wrong.

in diane 35. each pill contains the same dosage and ingredients as the other pills so it doesnt matter kung ano ang una mong ma-take basta makumpleto mo yung cycle. so it would be the same sa althea.
