When condoms slip down, do you usually need to take medicine?

Patient's question:

On the 12th day after the start of menstruation and the 5th day after it ends, is it the safe period? I had sex with my boyfriend twice. The first time, he used a condom, ejaculated, and then took a shower. About an hour later, we had sex again. During the second time, because we were too rough, the condom slipped off midway.

Doctor's answer:

If a condom slips during intercourse after sex, emergency contraception should be taken to prevent contraceptive failure. Within 72 hours after unprotected sex, take 4 progesterone tablets orally, and then take another 4 tablets within 12 hours. One progesterone tablet can also be taken orally within 72 hours after intercourse, and one can be repeated every 12 hours. The pregnancy rate with correct use is only 4%. Within 120 hours after sex, 10 mg of anti-progestogen tablets can also be taken, with an effectiveness rate of over 85% and a pregnancy rate of 2%.
