Patient's question:
And my husband and I had sex. I took the birth control pill on an empty stomach. How long should I wait before eating?Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception pills should be taken on an empty stomach. If you cannot urinate within two hours after taking the pill, it is advisable to take it again. Avoid urinating within two hours before and after taking the pill to effectively reduce the risk of nausea and vomiting. The interval between taking the pill should be approximately two hours. Taking emergency contraception pills is harmful to your body. Do not take more than three times a year to prevent overuse. Occasional use is acceptable, but it is not recommended to take it frequently, as it may lead to endocrine disorders. Taking emergency contraception pills can easily cause side effects such as menstrual disorders, infertility, and amenorrhea.
