Patient's question:
Today, because I didn't take any contraceptive measures, I want to use Yuting to prevent pregnancy. However, I have a cold and am taking cold medicine. I don't know if the cold medicine will affect the contraceptive effect. The cold medicine I am taking is Sanjiyi Ke Compound Aminophenylamine Capsule and Qinggan Chuanxinlian Tablet. Also, will I not get pregnant after taking Yuting? How long will it take for my period to come after taking Yuting? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Taking emergency contraception pills is generally not a problem if the time is within 72 hours, meaning it won't cause pregnancy. However, emergency contraception pills do have some effects on the body. In the short term, these effects may not be noticeable, but later in life, they might slightly affect your physiological functions. Therefore, it's best not to take this medication frequently, and it's better to avoid it altogether. Taking birth control pills and cold medicine together should not be a problem. It seems that there are no major contraindications for birth control, so you can check the instructions for more details.
