Answer #1

NO. NO. NO.

Unless it is marketed and prescribed to you as a form of birth control, it is very unwise to count on not getting knocked up.

Answer #2

actually contraception and birth control is the same thing. That being said, I wouldnt recommend you relying on a pill your doctor gave you for acne to prevent pregnancy without talking to her first as a lot of things can interfere with the way oral contraceptives work.

Answer #3

yes and no its a birth control, not a contraceptive a contraceptive is something like condoms or female condoms, ect if its mild it will work but pobably not as much as something else so it would be good to use extra protection and use a condom as well theyll also help prevent your from stds and stis
