CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS ARE NOT CANDY!
04/07/2025

CONTRACEPTIVE PILLS ARE NOT CANDY!

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 โ€” but as a health professional, I couldnโ€™t help but feel alarmed.

Contraceptive pills are NOT candy โ€ผ๏ธ Theyโ€™re not โ€œsafe for allโ€ just because theyโ€™re available over the counter in some tindahans. These are hormonal medications that affect your entire body โ€” and they are NOT meant to be taken without proper medical guidance and a prescription.

Hereโ€™s why self-medicating with birth control pills can be dangerous:

1. ๐™‰๐™ค๐™ฉ ๐™–๐™ก๐™ก ๐™ฅ๐™ž๐™ก๐™ก๐™จ ๐™–๐™ง๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™จ๐™–๐™ข๐™š.
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 โ€˜di mo pa alam), puwedeng magka breakthrough bleeding, hindi umepekto ang pills, o magka serious side effects.

โธป

2. ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’†๐’š ๐’‚๐’‡๐’‡๐’†๐’„๐’• ๐’š๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐’‰๐’๐’“๐’Ž๐’๐’๐’†๐’”.
Nag-aadjust ang katawan mo sa estrogen at progesterone sa pills โ€” kaya puwedeng tumaas ang risk ng stroke, blood clot, migraine, o high blood pressure, lalo na kung ikaw ay over 35 o naninigarilyo.

โธป

3. ๐‘ต๐’ ๐’‘๐’“๐’๐’‘๐’†๐’“ ๐’”๐’„๐’“๐’†๐’†๐’๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ = ๐’๐’ ๐’”๐’‚๐’‡๐’†๐’•๐’š ๐’๐’†๐’•.
Hindi ito gaya ng vitamins.
Kailangan muna ng screening ng doktor or pharmacist โ€” 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.

โธป

4. ๐‘ป๐’‰๐’†๐’š ๐’Ž๐’‚๐’š ๐’‚๐’‡๐’‡๐’†๐’„๐’• ๐’š๐’๐’–๐’“ ๐’Ž๐’†๐’๐’•๐’‚๐’ ๐’‰๐’†๐’‚๐’๐’•๐’‰.
Hindi lang katawan ang naaapektuhan โ€” pati emosyon at isip.
According to recent studies, may ilang babae na nagka-anxiety, mood swings, o kahit depression matapos magsimula ng pills.

โธป

5. ๐‘ฐ๐’๐’„๐’๐’“๐’“๐’†๐’„๐’• ๐’•๐’Š๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ = ๐’‡๐’‚๐’Š๐’๐’†๐’… ๐’‘๐’“๐’๐’•๐’†๐’„๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’.
Kung mali ang araw ng pagsimula o kung nakakalimot kang uminom, puwedeng bumaba ang effectiveness ng pill โ€” at magresulta sa hormonal imbalance o unplanned pregnancy.

โธป

6. ๐™„๐™ฉโ€™๐™จ ๐™–๐™œ๐™–๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ก๐™–๐™ฌ.
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.

โœ… What should you do instead?

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

๐‡๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ž๐ฌ ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ๐Ÿ๐ฎ๐ฅ.
Birth control isnโ€™t candy. Itโ€™s a tool that needs to be handled wisely โ€” with screening, counseling, and monitoring, not impulse-buying.

So no, hindi porket nabibili sa tindahan, safe na. Binalaan na kita ๐Ÿ˜‰

Your general health matters, and so does your right to be informed. Letโ€™s protect both. ๐Ÿง โœจ

Bakit Nakakamatay ang Mpox?

Karamihan ng kaso ng Mpox ay mild at gumagaling naman.

Pero delikado ito para sa:
โ€ข Mga taong mahina ang immune system (tulad ng may HIV, cancer, o umiinom ng immunosuppressants)
โ€ข Mga bata, lalo na under 8 years old
โ€ข Mga buntis

โธป

โš ๏ธ Mga Dahilan Kung Bakit Maaaring Ikamatay ang Mpox:

1. Malalang Impeksyon at Pinsala sa Organs
โ€“ Kapag kumalat ang virus sa loob ng katawan, maaaring tamaan ang baga, atay, o utak.

2. Secondary Bacterial Infection
โ€“ Pwedeng pasukin ng bacteria ang mga sugat, at magdulot ng sepsis (matinding impeksyon sa dugo).

3. Problema sa Paghinga
โ€“ Kapag may mga lesions sa loob ng lalamunan o baga, pwedeng mahirapang huminga o magkaroon ng pneumonia.

4. Encephalitis (Pamamaga ng Utak)
โ€“ Rare pero seryoso. Maaaring magdulot ng seizures, coma, o kamatayan.

5. Matinding Pagkadehydrated o Malnutrition
โ€“ Kapag masakit ang lalamunan o bibig dahil sa mga lesions, nahihirapan kumain o uminom, lalo na ang mga bata.

โธป

๐Ÿ“Š Gaano Kadalas ang Namamatay?

โ€ข Clade I (Central Africa strain) โ€“ hanggang 10% fatality rate
โ€ข Clade II (West Africa strain) โ€“ mas mild, less than 1% fatality

Ang karamihan sa mga kaso ngayon ay mula sa Clade II, pero panganib pa rin ito sa mga high-risk na pasyente.
