Why should Birth Control Pills Not be Taken During the Flu or For 7 Days After?
Birth Control Pills should not be taken during the flu or for 7 days after because of the hormone imbalances that can happen. There are back up pills that can be taken during this time if needed. The birth control pills are not taken 7 days after usually because they are on their period.
The doctor should be notified of any changes that might happen when the patient has the flu. The body might have a weaker immune system causing the body to have a higher chance of getting possible side effects. The diet might need to be changed to help build the body system back to where it should be after the flu is over with.
When having the flu the doctor should also be notified if you are on any other drugs because this could cause problems with them and they may not work the right way. The patient should always document and observe their body for any changes that might happen during the flu and after the flu.
