It is recommended that women should buy them after consulting with professional doctors.Take, "short contraceptive pills also have some taboos for individual groups: such as obese women (BMI ≥ 25), hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and family history.It is not recommended to use compound oral contraceptives with large (over 35 years old) and lactating women.
