Althea Contraceptive Pills Review

Being a woman is really hard, because you have to take care a lot of things inside and out!

You have to be more conscious not only with your appearance but with your health,too. We, women, are more sensitive than men. So, we should be more watchful when it comes to our health. And that's the thing I didn't do. :( I admit I was not that health conscious before but, after I was diagnosed of having four super small fibroids ( I forgot the sizes) I became more aware with regards to my health.

I will just write more about that on my next blog. For now, I want to have a review about ALTHEA CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS.
I tried some brands of contraceptive pills before like TRUST pills. I already tried the pink one and the yellow one. Also, I tried injectables,too. Sadly, I gained much weight, that's the side effect to me so I decided to stop...

Three months ago, I started taking contraceptive pills again because of the irregularity of my period and the fibroids in my ovary. My OB told me to take contraceptive pill which is anti-androgen to prevent from increasing the number of fibroids...

ALTHEA is a 21-cycle contraceptive pills.
You can start  taking on the first day of your period or anytime you want BUT be sure that you are not pregnant before taking your first pill. After taking the 21st pill you have 7 pill-free days. On the 8th day you have to start taking the next pack. It will only cost you P355 in local drug stores. Half the price of some Contraceptive Pills which has the same effects.

PROS:

* decrease popping out of pimples ^^
* regulate menstrual period
* prevent the feeling of being bloated
* lightens the brown patches on my skin
* helps your skin become smooth and fresh
* loose weight (for me)
* remove unwanted facial hair
* cheaper than Diane pills
* available in local drug stores
* enlarge your boobies (this is pro for me! hahaha)

CONS:

* headache during the first week of taking the pills
* moody

I hope those information will help you if you are planning to take contraceptive pills.
You can also take contraceptive pills even if you don't have a husband or boyfriend because it is therapeutic.:) It will help you a lot with your acne issues (for acne you need to take the pills for at least three months before you see the result/improvement) and menstrual irregularities.
NOTE: DON'T forget to visit your OB-GYN for pap smear every after 6 months.

That's for now Queens! Feel free to post comments and ask questions! ^^
More to come....

    4. Hi @HelloKitty, dati pwedeng bumili ng contraceptive pills kahit walang reseta ng doktor pero ngayon kailangan na ata. This week ko pa lang nastart yung Althea and nabili ko yun kasi nireseta sakin ng doctor ko for polycystic ovarian syndrome.

    5. Hi, ask ko lang.. dati na kasi ako gumagamit ng Althea pills.. dahil sa polycystic ovarian syndrome din, kaso hininto ko siya after 3months. kasi lagi sumasakit ung ulo ko.. but now.. nagiging irregular nanaman ung mens ko. ok lang ba kung gagamit ulit ako ng Althea Pills?

  5. Nice review espicially the "enlarge your boobie" part. Hahha. My OB just gave me this and I think we have similar problems, the ovary thingy. I'll be using this as soon as I have my menstruation. My doctor also gave me another med for my irregular menstruation, I haven't got my menstruation since July so I'm pretty much excited to have my menstruation back. Excited to try my Althea tablets, hoping to have a positive effect on my like yours. Stay healthy, Ladies! Remember, health is wealth. God bless!

  6. I agree with this. I would like to tell that contraceptive pills helps a lot in controlling unusual pregnancy. I have found a site morning after pill store which is providing various types of contraceptive pills.

  9. Hi Guys,
    Ive been reading your comments. To take althea pills does it need to have a doctors prescription. I got pregnant 2011, give birth in 2012. But then few mos.after that i started to get acne or pimples. d nmn malala pero kc in my case ive never had pimples in my entire life. I was thinking the culprit is hormonal imbalance or might be PCOS. IVe been to 2 dermatologists wla nmn ngwork. Still getting pimples... plus I noticed i started to get facial hair. hayyyssss.. please advise!!

    1. Hi, as for me kc sis yung prinescribe ng OB ko na pills hindi hiyang sakin kaya I switched to Althea. So far ok naman sya. I think pwede naman w/o prescription basta be sure na you are not preggy before taking it. 😊

    2. Hi first time KO mag take ng Althea pills. I take it 2 days after my mensuration and on a 4th day pill I had an intercourse with my bf but we used a withdrawal method. Today is my 3rd day free pill but I still haven't my mensuration is it possible that I am pregnant? I'm worried.

Kaya lang bigla akong natakot kasi may nabasa ako na dahil low dose ito hindi nia talaga napipigilan ang pregnancy bagkos hindi lang talaga kumakapit ung baby kc pinaninipis nito ung uterus lining chuchu.. manganganak ako ngayong month. and iniisip ko kung mag aalthea pills parin ba ako..kasi nanghihinayang ako kung d ko na itetake.kc nung gamit ko to almost two years e gumanda kutis ko... nawala pimples ko.. super regular mens ko.and namamayat yun lang before ka talaga magkaperiod super sakit sa ulo... hindi naman mahirap uminom.. basta ang time na ilalaan mo sa kanya is after u eat dinner..for example 7pm ka nagdidinner edi mga 7:30 or 8pm ka lagi magtake.. nakakainis nga 5months ako napatigil ng pagtake nito kaya na preggy ako... tapos andaming acne sa muka ko ang sumulpot kc talagang mapimples ako..cant wait tuloy na makagamit ulit ako nito... hiyang kc ako dito...

    1. After taking 21 tabs, you need to wait for 7 days bago ka magtake ulit ng new set. During that 7 days, dapat magkakaroon ka na ng monthly period mo. In my experience, it's on the 3rd or 4rth day. :-)

  68. I'm thinking of trying out Althea pills but I'm breastfeeding my 11 month old baby. Although a lot of fellow mommies have said it is safe for the baby, I'm still doubtful because one common side effect of taking Althea pills is it decreases the milk supply of the mother. So I guess my kid's health and welfare should be put first than my vain needs. I'm suffering kasi from acne and i've tried a lot of topical products already. Oh well kids first before mommy. :)

  120. Im done with my first pack of althea , so far so good. wala masyadong headaches, but i had a lot of mood swings! I still have pimples pero according to the reviews na nabasa ko on different sites , it will take up to 3months for you to see the effect of althea pills on your skin. so im still hoping for the best. Nag enlarge din mga boobies ko.. i think side effect nya din yun .. and feeling ko kahit di ako nagdidiet arang umapayat ako.. kaso there are times na sumasakit puson ko ero mga 2minutes lang pero sobrang sakit tapos mawawala din.. Im planning to visit my OB to check if normal lang ba yun . sa mga naglaplan na mag take ng althea , go !! sabi ng OB ko low dose lang to and one of the most safest pill. I hope the best for us girls!
