Patient's question:
I am 39 years old. I recently took vitamin C to whiten and moisturize my skin. During this period, I have been eating a lot of emergency contraception pills. I want to ask if emergency contraception pills can be taken together with vitamin C?Doctor's answer:
Generally, when taking emergency contraception pills, it is recommended to take them on an empty stomach and avoid eating or drinking anything within 2 hours (including beverages), only drinking plain water. Taking vitamin C does not reduce the side effects of emergency contraception pills. It is best to take vitamin C the next day. Do not take emergency contraception pills frequently. It is important to pay attention to other contraceptive measures, such as condoms, intrauterine devices, or long-acting birth control pills.
