Patient's question:
A couple of days ago, I took emergency contraception. A couple of days later, I took it again. Is that medication still effective? Do I need to take it again? I want to ask if each dose of the contraceptive pill is still effective?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should be invalid. For this type of issue, it is better to adopt positive, targeted, and safe contraceptive measures because emergency contraception is a post-coital contraceptive. This medication should be taken within 72 hours after intercourse in the same room. If unprotected intercourse is repeated after taking the medication, it remains ineffective. It is also believed to have certain effects on breastfeeding, and the time is too short. Sex requires attention to safety protection. If you want to avoid breastfeeding, you can prevent it.
