Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about your health care.

These all are side effects of the pills, you should not stop the medicine in between, you can take symptomatic treatment like antacids and analgesic.
These side effects will go away .
You can take progesterone vaginally also to avoid side effects.

Yes,you have to take the medicine but before starting the medicine, I want to ask few questions.
