How Can I Get Off The Combi Patch?

How should I go about getting off the combi patch. I ve been taking it for almost 3 months. I am experiencing a LOT of hair loss and I bleed about every other week. Not a lot of bleeding but just annoying. I was just wondering if I should just stop using the patches or what?

Hi,

I can Understand your concern for hair loss and bleeding about every other week. The query provides too little of the details so that we can guide you best according to your concern. I request you to kindly elaborate your concern in terms of your age, sex and occupation along with compete medical history.

IN general all the pills you have told are good hormonal pills and are good options. Some of the time these hormonal pills can cause weight gain if are containing high progesterone.

It is better to ask your treating or prescribing doctor to know which hormonal pill is containing less of progesterone or less withdrawal bleeding.

All the best.
Take care.
