Is it okay to take one pill of Baoshiting birth control pill half an hour after the event?

Patient's question:

Half an hour after the event, can I take one pill of Baoshiting birth control pill? I don't want to have children now, and I have always taken two pills of Yuting birth control pill before. The Baoshiting I bought this time only comes in a single pill package. I don't know if taking one pill will be effective.

Doctor's answer:

Emergency contraception comes in two dosages: some require two pills, while others only need one to surpass the effectiveness of breastfeeding. Emergency contraception is only effective for the specific sexual act it was taken for and cannot be used as a daily oral contraceptive. If taken after menopause, the success rate of breastfeeding is nearly zero. The above advice is for the question "Can I take one pill of Bao Shiting emergency contraception 30 minutes after the act?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
