Having Acidity After Taking I Pill. Had Lower Abdominal Pain. How Long Will The Acidity Last?

default
Posted on Thu, 7 Nov 2013
Question: I am having acidity one day after having iPill. I took it for the first time and took it just as precaution. How long will this acidity last. I had lower abdominal pain once but then it never occurred again. Please let me know any medicine which can cure this acidity and gas issue

I was having sex with my boyfriend and the condom broke with in my vagina... we were not sure of any fluid flowing in but took the iPill with in 12 hrs as precaution. Now I am feeling all acidity and also my stomach appears to be little big. I am sure there is no chance of pregnancy but little scared for the side effects of iPill on my body. how long will it last and what should be next steps for me.

Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX

Well looking into your problem , if you are sure its acidity then I will advise you to avoid fried and spicy food for some time , have some cold milk .

You should take Tablet pantaprazole 40 mg half an hour before your meal once a day for 3 days . This will help you relieve the symptoms immediately .

Take care.

It looks like acidity and I am not feeling like eating anything. I opted to skip lunch today and had just lemonade so that it cools down my stomach a little. Is it safe if I wont take any medicine. Am I having a side effect of having iPill or is any other reason possible for the same?

Also I can feel that my stomach is filled with gas and has grown in size a litle. Can it be a side effect of having iPill. My periods are scheduled for next to next week (precisely 11- 13th oct) and I haven't experienced any bleeding yet (although I experienced some little white solid substance while urine today). Can this be any issue for my periods?

Hi,

This is regarding the same issue. After taking iPill I had light period after around 8-10 days but the bleeding is not going away. I mean, I had my period but the red lines in the white substance is still visible and it seems like my periods are not over yet. My periods are going on from last 10 days and I can feel tender breasts as well. Is this the breakthrough bleeding ? am I safe ? Please help!

Thanks!

Dear Madam,

Thank you for reverting back.

Well yes it can be breakthrough bleeding . I think you should see a gynaecologist and take her advise as soon as possible as a vaginal examination may be required and nothing can be said without it .

Take care.
