The answer is: Yes Birth control pills prescribed to reduce acne also have the effect of preventing pregnancy like regular birth control pills. This is because acne-reducing pills are combined hormonal contraceptive pills, but doctors choose a formula that is suitable for acne problems as well.
Why do some birth control pills reduce acne?
- Acne-reducing birth control pills contain hormones that help reduce the effects of male hormones (androgens) in the body.
- When male hormones decrease → the occurrence of inflammatory acne also decreases.
How to use them effectively for both purposes?
- Take them every day at the same time. Do not miss a day.
- Consult a doctor or pharmacist to choose the appropriate formula.
- If you stop taking them, it may affect pregnancy prevention.
