Do you need to drink more water when taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

On Baidu, many doctors say not to eat anything after taking birth control pills, but they didn't mention other aspects. After I took the birth control pills, I've been experiencing dry mouth and feeling thirsty. Hello, can I drink more water after taking birth control pills?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described above, it is best to take birth control pills with water to help the medication enter the body smoothly. Generally, taking emergency contraception within 72 hours after intercourse is effective for breastfeeding. Taking the pill before bedtime has the least side effects. In terms of diet, you should not eat anything two hours before and after taking the medication, as this is because it is better for breastfeeding. Drinking water does not have any special interference and can be consumed moderately. It is recommended to take birth control pills as little as possible and avoid taking them altogether if possible. Taking them too frequently can be very harmful to a woman's body. After taking the medication, pay attention to rest, consume more vitamins, and digest protein.
