Patient's question:
Can you take two pills of emergency contraception at once? Such as Yuting!! First question supplement: If not, what will happen if you take two pills at once? Will it cause contraceptive failure?Doctor's answer:
Hello:There are two main types of emergency contraception pills. One is mifepristone tablets, marketed as "Fernier." Its advantage is that it only requires one tablet to be taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse, with a contraceptive effectiveness of over 99%. Low-dose mifepristone is a new drug approved by the National Drug Administration in the early 21st century for emergency contraception. The other is levonorgestrel tablets, marketed as "Yuzhenting" and "Anting." Its feature is to take two tablets within 72 hours after sexual intercourse, with a 12-hour interval, and a contraceptive effectiveness of over 98%. It began to be used for emergency contraception in the 1990s.
It can lead to contraceptive failure and the occurrence of side effects.
