Can An Emergency Contraceptive Pill Be Taken With Plan B?
Question: Hii i had unprotected sex on wednesday at 11:30 pm then took plan b on friday at 12:30 am but only one medicine. On sunday i came to know i should have both pills at12 pmi took second one. Can i take XXXXXXX medicine now
Brief Answer:
Yes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. XXXXXXX is an emergency contraceptive pill that is effective for upto 5 days after the unprotected intercourse.
Now to be doubly sure you can take XXXXXXX Since you took only half the dose of Plan B within 48 hours the efficacy to protect against pregnancy is nearly 90%.
This can cause a mild hormonal imbalance and irregular spotting or bleeding. It is best to use as regular contraceptive instead from the next cycle.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
