I have low-dose combination birth control pills--can I take it evenings & switch later to afternoons?


Let me explain: I've just been given a rx for kariva bc pills. I've heard many times that nasea can be a nasty side effect, so it's recommended you take them at nite before bed. Could I do that for a few wks & then if I have less or no nasea could I MOVE UP the time to like 4pm instead of 8pm after a while? It would only be a few hrs earlier. It would only be one time the pills are kinda close, you know? but would just be less of a pain when I'm out on the town or w/e at nite lol. I just feel i should start out evening because I HATE being nauseous & dont want it to effect my day. thx for any input. The packet with the pills is confusing, any info is great. I'll talk to my doc when needed.. THANKS. :)

You can do that, but you would have to use an alternative form of birth control until you regulate it. Mini-pills(Low dosage) have a much smaller window to take them in than normal pills.
