Suggest The Ideal Dosage For Emergency Contraceptive Pills
Question: I took I pill within 12 hours after unprotected sex. Had unprotected sex again within 24 hours. Should I take another I pill?
Brief Answer:
No need for another pill
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concerns and anxiety.
No need to take another pill as emergency pill once taken is protective for 72 hours so you are well in safe zone.
But this is not a good practice to take emergency pill every now and then as it is only for emergency purposes and is not a routine method of contraception.
If can cause serious hormone imbalance and thus cycle irregularity.
Take care
