Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant unexpectedly? The harm is relatively small. How many birth control pills should I take at one time for emergency contraception?Doctor's answer:
I have reviewed the situation you mentioned. Your sister currently needs to take emergency contraceptive pills, specifically levonorgestrel tablets. While drospirenone ethinyl estradiol tablets are a type of short-term contraceptive medication, they are not suitable for oral administration in this case. Emergency contraceptive pills can be taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse, which can help with breastfeeding. However, this medication is an emergency contraceptive and should not be taken more than three times a year. Taking it excessively may lead to endocrine disorders.
