Patient's question:
Doctor, I took emergency contraception half a year ago. Should it be okay to take it now? Because last night, my husband and I had sex, and we didn't have a condom at home, so I had to take emergency contraception.Doctor's answer:
Generally, emergency contraception pills are not recommended to be taken twice within one menstrual cycle, and it is advised not to take them less than three times a year. They can usually be taken safely after more than a year. It is recommended that the pills be taken as early as possible for better effectiveness. Rest and ensure a nutritious diet. It is still better to use condoms for contraception, as they are safer and more effective. It is recommended to purchase them from professional and regular pharmacies.
