You can start it, at any time. If you start it the first or second day of your period, it will be effective immediately at preventing pregnancy, however, if you start it any time after that, you will need to take it for a full week in order for it to reach it's full level of efficacy.

The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, spotting, and PMS-like symptoms.

What instructions has your doctor provided?

I started taking oralcon about 12 days ago. I Initially started using it because of the terrible pains i get when i have my menstrual cycle. I was on my third day of having my period when i took it. Three days ago my boyfriend and i had unprotected intercourse and i'm worried that i could be pregnant. Please help. I'm only 18 years old and i'm really worried and thinking if i should take the emergency pill which might be very expensive, and since i'm over the three day period.

I just finished my period and I want to start taking oralcon. When does it start working? If I have intercourse the same day I start taking it, can I get pregnant?

Hi. I'm a first timer for any birth control pills. Clinic gave me Oralcon today (31/05/'18). Now I'm not so sure when to start taking them. Packet shows start at 1 of 21 white pills then the 7 red once. Tomorrow will be the last day of my period. Should I wait till I start again, or can I start when my period stops? Thanks.
