I started using Vixpo on the first day of my period. It was at the beginning of September. According to the blister, I should have my period in a week, but I still have normal bleeding, not spotting. I will mention that this is the first time I have taken contraception. Should it be so?

At the beginning of using contraceptives such as Vixpo, irregular spotting and bleeding may occur. It may happen that the bleeding will be prolonged. This condition can last for the first few months of taking the drug (usually 3-6 months).
However, if the bleeding does not stop at all, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist. Prolonged bleeding can cause anaemia. If you are not able to visit the patient, you can use a teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

I also encourage you to report prolonged bleeding as side effects of Vixpo. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote more about how and why to report side effects in the article:
