Patient's question:
Please ask if after the first time, after taking Postinor, a few days later, I had unprotected sex with my girlfriend again and took Postinor again, is it still effective? I'm a little scared.Doctor's answer:
Because emergency contraception pills are post-coital medications, they are only effective for the last sexual activity and do not provide protection for subsequent sexual activities, or the protection is very limited. If you cannot be sure that you do not want to get pregnant, it is recommended to take another dose of emergency contraception pills to avoid unnecessary trouble. Taking emergency contraception pills can cause menstrual disorders, so it is best not to take this medication frequently. This type of emergency contraception pill has significant side effects, and menstruation either comes early or is delayed. It is recommended to use caution and not take more than three doses within a year.
