Patient's question:
My partner took a long-acting birth control pill for lunch yesterday. So when will it start to be effective? My partner has just had an abortion, and I feel so sorry for her. I hope there won't be any more problems!Doctor's answer:
The contraceptive pill is effective if taken within three days after intercourse, but the earlier it is taken after intercourse, the better the effect. It should be noted that when taking the medication, it is generally recommended to take it on an empty stomach or avoid eating for two hours after taking it, so as not to affect its efficacy. In fact, under normal circumstances, practicing any form of contraception will have some impact on women. Therefore, patients should pay attention to self-care. Contraceptive users should pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
