Could headaches be side effect of taking cyclacur?
Patient: my wife is taking cyclacur to start to manage her period cycle. Since she swtiched from the white tablets to the brown tablets in the box, she seems to have started getting headaches in the morning after waking up ? is this being caused by cyclacur ? she is 42 years old Doctor: Hi,Yes, headaches are a common side effect of taking oral contraceptives pills like cyclacur which usually improve over time. The white tablets contain hormone estradiol and the brown tablets contain a combination of estradiol and norgestrel (progestogen). In case if headaches do not subside your doctor would prescribe a different type of pill with a different dose of estradiol and/or a different type of progestogen.Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
