Patient's question:
A friend of mine has been using Min Ting for breastfeeding recently. I don't know where they heard that Min Ting can prevent ectopic pregnancy. Doctor, does levonorgestrel tablets have a preventive effect on ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Levonorgestrel tablets are an emergency contraceptive medication. This medication can prevent pregnancy, but it can also lead to ectopic pregnancy. Due to the high dosage of this medication for breastfeeding, it is generally not recommended for frequent use. It is only used as a backup measure after successful breastfeeding. It is generally advised that the number of doses taken within a year should not be less than three to avoid side effects.
