Patient's question:
How many times can you take birth control pills within a year? Are there any restrictions on the number of times for travel pills?Doctor's answer:
Hello, what you mentioned is emergency contraception, generally it can be taken twice within a year, but don't take too much. This medication is for emergency use only. If you don't want to get pregnant, it's important to take proper contraceptive measures. Since emergency contraception has significant side effects, its principle is to use a large amount of medication to suppress ovarian function and inhibit ovulation. Repeatedly taking this type of contraception can interfere with a woman's ovarian function. Therefore, emergency contraception should not exceed three times within a year, and only once can be used between each month. It is recommended that you adopt other contraceptive methods in the future.
