Hello,
You had unprotected sex and have given the women
Belara birth control bills as an emergency
contraception method. No, it does not work that way. So you are suggested that you should give emergency
contraceptive pills for emergency conditions (unprotected sex) and she should use birth control pills to prevent
pregnancy on a regular basis.
Do not forget to always read and understand correctly how to use that is printed on the packaging for the best efficacy of the medicine. If you are still confused and to avoid misunderstandings, you should consult a general practitioner or obstetrician. Emergency contraceptive pills contain
levonorgestrel and the mainstay birth control pill also contains levonorgestrel, but what needs to be considered is the amount of the content is different.
It's difficult to adjust different doses between birth control pills and emergency contraception, even if it works, it means that hormone
estrogen dose should be taken correctly, and people commonly fail to take the correct ingredients in the correct dose. It may fail to prevent pregnancy. Belara has ingredients that will work best as a regular CP. She should take Emergency CP within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
