❗️❗️❗️

I went to a sari-sari store the other day and saw contraceptive pills like Lady and Trust being sold right next to mosquito coil and diapers.

At first glance, it might seem convenient — but as a health professional, I couldn’t help but feel alarmed.

Contraceptive pills are NOT candy ‼️ They’re not “safe for all” just because they’re available over the counter in some tindahans. These are hormonal medications that affect your entire body — and they are NOT meant to be taken without proper medical guidance and a prescription.

Here’s why self-medicating with birth control pills can be dangerous:

1. 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙢𝙚.
Iba-iba ang pills. Merong progestin-only, meron namang combined estrogen-progestin.
Kung mali ang mapili mo (lalo na kung may health condition ka na ‘di mo pa alam), puwedeng magka breakthrough bleeding, hindi umepekto ang pills, o magka serious side effects.

⸻

2. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒂𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔.
Nag-aadjust ang katawan mo sa estrogen at progesterone sa pills — kaya puwedeng tumaas ang risk ng stroke, blood clot, migraine, o high blood pressure, lalo na kung ikaw ay over 35 o naninigarilyo.

⸻

3. 𝑵𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 = 𝒏𝒐 𝒔𝒂𝒇𝒆𝒕𝒚 𝒏𝒆𝒕.
Hindi ito gaya ng vitamins.
Kailangan muna ng screening ng doktor or pharmacist — titingnan kung mataas ang BP mo, kung may history ka ng sakit, or kung bagay ba sa iyo yung formulation. Sa sari-sari store? Wala niyan. Walang counseling, walang assessment.

⸻

4. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒂𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒉.
Hindi lang katawan ang naaapektuhan — pati emosyon at isip.
According to recent studies, may ilang babae na nagka-anxiety, mood swings, o kahit depression matapos magsimula ng pills.

⸻

5. 𝑰𝒏𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 = 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.
Kung mali ang araw ng pagsimula o kung nakakalimot kang uminom, puwedeng bumaba ang effectiveness ng pill — at magresulta sa hormonal imbalance o unplanned pregnancy.

⸻

6. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙬.
Under RA 10918 (Philippine Pharmacy Act), bawal magbenta ng pills sa hindi lisensyadong lugar gaya ng sari-sari store.
Dapat sa FDA-licensed pharmacy lang, at may reseta ng doktor at proper counseling ng pharmacist.

✅ What should you do instead?

✔️ Consult a doctor before starting any contraceptive.
✔️ Buy from licensed pharmacies only.
✔️ Ask a pharmacist to explain how and when to take it properly.
✔️ Be informed. Your health is too important to leave to chance.

𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥.
Birth control isn’t candy. It’s a tool that needs to be handled wisely — with screening, counseling, and monitoring, not impulse-buying.

So no, hindi porket nabibili sa tindahan, safe na. Binalaan na kita 😉

Your general health matters, and so does your right to be informed. Let’s protect both. 🧠✨
