Patient's question:
Hello!Are there significant side effects from taking this medication (combined oral contraceptives)? Does it prevent pregnancy if you have sex while taking it? Please give me a clear answer.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the side effects of emergency contraception include dizziness, nausea, spotting, etc. It should not be used more than three times a year, as excessive use can easily lead to endocrine disorders, menstrual disorders, and even infertility! It's okay to take it occasionally once in a while! Emergency contraception is not 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. It is recommended to test blood hCG about ten days after intercourse to confirm. This is more sensitive and shows results earlier, with a higher accuracy rate! If this helps you, please rate and thank you!
