After how long am I protected with Jencycla?

Question

First time I use the contraceptive pill Jencycla while breastfeeding. After how long can I be considered protected? Hello, it's because in the medication leaflet it says 7 days, but the pharmacist had told me 1 1/2 months minimum, so I wanted to validate with another pharmacist to have a second opinion. Thank you very much for your help

Hello Mrs I am a little surprised that your pharmacist did not tell you? If you started Jencycla in the first 5 days of your menstrual cycle, you are immediately protected. If you have not yet had a return of menstruation, or if it has been more than 5 days since the beginning of your cycle, you will have to use another method of contraception during the first 2 days. I hope I have been helpful to you, I am still available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist I don't know where this notion of a month and a half or 7 days came from It made me happy!
