Suggest Treatment For Diarrhea While On Levonelle

default
Posted on Mon, 23 Oct 2017
Question: Hi,
I took the morning after pill (Levonelle) and about 1hour later I had watery diarrhea but have not experienced it since (it was just a one off). But I have not been sick at all. Do I need to retake a dose? Can the diarrhea affect the effectiveness of the pill?

Thanks!
