I read the leaflet several times and read that these are pills that treat symptoms such as acne or hirsutism, but also have a contraceptive effect. However, I have read in many forums that these pills do not prevent pregnancy and are only hormones, but you can get pregnant despite taking them. Is it true? I got these pills because of polycystic ovaries, I didn't think about protection in particular, but now I'm wondering if they can prevent pregnancy if taken regularly and as prescribed by a doctor. Are the pills certain? What is the chance of getting pregnant when taking these pills?
OC-35 is registered as a drug, but has a contraceptive effect with the same efficacy as all contraceptive pills. The effectiveness is 92-99.7%. If you accept such effectiveness, you do not need to use any additional methods at all.
