Patient's question:
What should I do if I get pregnant? The harm is relatively small. When is it better to take birth control pills after sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is effective within 72 hours after intercourse. If you have sexual activity again while taking medication, the time needs to be recalculated. For healthy women of childbearing age who are not pregnant, they should use it within 72-120 hours after intercourse. The earlier it is taken, the better the effect. Failure rates are often higher if it is taken beyond 72 hours. It is also noted that the effectiveness of emergency contraception pills is not 100%.
