Patient's question:
I had sex with my husband last night without using contraception because we are not planning to have children right now. So, I want to buy birth control pills, but I heard from a colleague that emergency contraception pills should be taken with vitamins. I wonder why is that?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described: It is okay to take vitamin C after taking emergency contraception pills. Taking vitamin C can help alleviate the side effects of the medication. Taking emergency contraception pills may lead to symptoms such as endocrine disorders and menstrual disorders, so it is best not to take them frequently. It is recommended not to eat spicy or greasy foods after taking birth control pills. If there are any issues, it is necessary to visit a hospital for medical attention and not to use medication blindly.
