Curex does not treat this allergen
One common symptom of contraceptive pills allergy is severe, persistent itching. This is because the body's immune system is reacting against the hormones present in the pills.
Another sign of an allergic reaction to contraceptive pills can be swelling, especially in the lips, face, or tongue. This is a sign of a severe allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention.
Someone allergic to contraceptive pills might develop skin rashes or hives. These are pink or red raised patches on the skin that often itch and are another way the body responds to something it perceives as harmful.
In severe cases, a person allergic to contraceptive pills might experience difficulty breathing, this could be due to their airways becoming constricted or their lungs filling with fluid as part of an anaphylactic reaction.
Nausea and vomiting can also occur as the body tries to expel the allergen. These symptoms can lead to dehydration if not managed properly.
A person could experience lightheadedness or fainting due to a drop in blood pressure caused by the allergic reaction. This may manifest as feeling dizzy or faint, and in severe cases, it may lead to loss of consciousness.

Am I eligible?
Before taking contraceptive pills, always consult your doctor or a pharmacist. They can offer guidance on the various brands you can try and which ones to avoid if you have a known allergy. This can help prevent allergic reactions.
If you suspect a particular brand of contraceptive pill is causing an allergic reaction, consider switching to a different brand under the advice of your healthcare provider. Different brands have different formulations and you might react to one and not another.
If it's established that you are allergic to hormonal contraceptives, consider non-hormonal methods such as condoms, cervical caps, or copper IUDs. These can avoid the risk of allergy.
Keep a close eye on how your body reacts after taking a contraceptive pill. Note any adverse effects and report them to your healthcare provider. If allergic reactions are consistent, it may be time to consider other contraceptive methods.
