Patient's question:
HelloHow to take Yu Ting? Some people say to take it before sexual intercourse and then again? I don't know how to use it `~ Also, does the medicine have any side effects on people?
Doctor's answer:
Emergency contraception is effective if taken within 72 hours after intercourse. It is recommended to take proper contraceptive measures. This type of medication is represented by Yuzhentong. Each tablet of Yuzhentong contains 0.75 mg of levonorgestrel. After sexual activity, take two tablets at once (a dose of 1.5 mg), or take one tablet and then another 12 hours later. After taking the medication, the chance of pregnancy can be reduced to 1.5%. There is no need to fast before or after taking the medication.The side effects of birth control pills are relatively direct, primarily causing menstrual disorders. Menstrual disorders can lead to a series of problems, the most obvious being endocrine imbalance, such as breakouts on the face and poor complexion. It is best to take them sparingly or not at all, as they can lead to infertility in the future.
