Patient's question:
Is it okay to take birth control pills with milk, or will it affect their effectiveness?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, it is best to take birth control pills with water, and it is recommended to fast for 2 hours before and after taking them to avoid affecting the efficacy. In your case, if you are taking birth control pills, they are effective within 72 hours after sexual intercourse, and the earlier you take them, the better the effect. Don't worry too much. If you are taking emergency contraception, it is a post-coital measure and should not be used as a regular medication, as it may affect normal endocrine function and lead to menstrual disorders. Pay close attention and stay relaxed. In the future, it is best to use other methods of contraception during sexual intercourse.
