Bayer makes a brand for sale in China. Not every pharmacy will carry it, so you'll have to look around.

Asprin is good. 

 

Clamp it between your knees and keep it there. Works every time wink.

Not if you happen to bend over.......keeping your knees together then won't help :-)

I've taken medication in China. One of them caused psychotic hallucinations... I never took another Chinese pill again. Ever.

 

Be careful... maybe instead of a birth control pill, it'll be something that increases fertility, causes strokes, or worst yet -- late-onset albinism.

I used Marvelon in Canada, and as luck would have it, they sell it widely in the city.  I just went into the nearest tiny neighborhood Jinshitang Pharmacy and it was right there on the shelf.  Even had the English name brand on it so it was easy to ID. 

 

I took it with me to the doctor's office and they confirmed that it's the same percentage of hormones than what's sold elsewhere.  (Western doctor)

 

I looked it up and I guess it's the most popular brand.  I use it these days mainly to control acne and regulate periods.  Birth control is an infrequent bonus, almost an afterthought....booo
