Hi... my wife had a baby about six months ago and is still nursing. We want to know if she can buy minipills in korea, and if so... what are they called, etc?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason |

Do you mean birth control? It's OTC. Most people I know here use Mercilon. 6000 won a pack |

Is Mercilon similar to a minipill? Because normal ones arent good after a baby...
Thanks! |

Mercilon is NOT a mini-pill. I would ask the pharmacist since they're OTC.

OOK that's what I needed to know, thanks! We'll probably just have to wait until the contract expires then to buy pills again. Looks like we're OOL. |
