Are Emergency Contraceptive Pills Effective While Suffering With Diarrhoea?
Ive had diarrhea on and off for about 4 days. I have had unprotected sex woth my partner in the past 24 hours. I m on a regular birth control pill but know that this doesnt cover me due to the diarrhea, will the emergency morning after pill prevent pregnancy even though i have had diarrhea and will still be on going after taking the emergency pill?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such diarrhea may not be due to oral contraceptive medicines but may be due to something else, but most of the time such diarrhea are self limiting and seldom need any treatment but of course hydration is matter of concern, no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care.
