Can my contraceptive cause diarrhea?

Yes, it is possible for your contraceptive to cause diarrhea, although it is rare. In most cases, diarrhea may occur when starting the medication, and it is uncommon for it to happen 2 months after starting. If you experience persistent diarrhea, it is recommended to consult with your pharmacist or healthcare provider to discuss possible alternative options. It is important to note that diarrhea can potentially reduce the effectiveness of your contraceptive, so using a barrier method like a condom is advisable until the diarrhea subsides. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to reach out for assistance.
