What Causes Severe Nausea And Dizziness After Taking Ella Pills?

Hi - I tool Ella emergency contraceptive pill 5 days ago. I had severe nausea for couple of days but it is gone now; however I am still experiencing dizziness and am feeling light headed. How long will these side effects last? Is there anything I can do to treat dizziness? I have low BMI but am otherwise healthy. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
I understand your concern.
Ella contraceptive pill has high dose of hormone.. The symptoms you have are side effects of the hormone . Nausea is already gone .. even dizziness will go in few days. For unbearable dizziness you can takeTab. Avomin half pill after food twice a day...Take rest till dizziness goes.
When the effect of the pill goes away.(mostly by 8 days of taking pill).. you will have withdrawal bleeding (&then allthe side effects would go.
Thanks.
