I am 25 years old and have been taking demulin 21 for eight years. I am wondering if it is healthy to be taking this pill for this length of time without ever taking a break.

Question
Answer
Last Updated: June 11, 2013
Taking oral contraceptives prior to a first full term pregnancy increases the risk of subsequent Breast Cancer. One would expect this harmful effect to be enhanced by the stronger estrogen component in Demulin relative to other less estrogenic preparations. The long exposure period concerns me even further. Even if one did not take birth control pills, and merely waited until after 30 to have one’s first full term pregnancy, this alone would increase one’s risk for breast cancer.
