Patient's question:
Recently bought emergency contraception pills, but as it was my first time, I didn't know how to use them. I read the instructions but still don't quite understand. I thought it would be better to ask. I want to know when is the best time to take these emergency contraception pills? The ones that are effective while breastfeeding.Doctor's answer:
Hello, emergency contraception needs to be taken promptly within 72 hours after sexual intercourse. The earlier it is taken orally, the better it is for breastfeeding. Currently, the most commonly purchased levonorgestrel tablets from pharmacies are 0.75mg, taking two tablets, while the Jinchun levonorgestrel tablets are 1.5mg, taking one tablet. The chemical composition is the same, the pharmacological effects are identical, and after taking it orally, there may be gastrointestinal discomfort and vaginal bleeding. Please read the instructions carefully.
