Is it okay to take emergency contraception twice a week?

Patient's question:

Doctor, in these past few months, my diet and sleep schedule have been very regular and normal, but I feel that I am easily dizzy and want to vomit. I suspect it is caused by the emergency contraceptive pill I took. Hello doctor, is it okay to take emergency contraception twice a week?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you haven't taken it orally before, it's not a big problem. The issue arises only if you take it repeatedly in the short term, which can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, vaginal bleeding, endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, etc. We hope you can wait and see for now, pay attention to a light diet, and most importantly, avoid taking it again and opt for other methods of contraception. If the symptoms don't improve, please consult your doctor again.
