If you vomit within 1 hour of taking an oral emergency contraceptive, you should take a replacement dose as soon as possible. Enteric-coated birth control pills do not need to be left out because they do not dissolve until they reach the intestines.

Misconceptions 1: will affect menstruation

Many people feel that emergency contraceptives affect menstruation, but in fact it's not true, to Yutin It is a simple progestin, and the dose is very low, so almost no effect on menstruation, but due to individual differences, some people take Yutin contraceptive success, there will be withdrawal bleeding (similar to menstruation), if the amount of bleeding and the usual amount of menstruation is almost the same, you can be treated as a menstruation, but this is a normal phenomenon, do not need to worry about it, can be recovered on their own. However, if you take it several times in a short period of time, it may cause menstrual disorders and reduce the success rate of contraception.

Myth 2: It has an effect on the fetus

Because the emergency contraceptive Yutin is a simple progestin, and the dose is very small, so it is very safe and will not have an adverse effect on the fetus, and research studies have shown that some women who take Yutin without knowing the pregnancy have not increased birth defects or other problems.

Myth 3: Contraception will fail

The contraceptive success rate for the emergency contraceptive pill is 98%, and 99.9% for Synthroid levonorgestrel drops. Understand the correct taking it then contraception:

1, within 72 hours after the incident, a single oral New Sno levonorgestrel drops 2 pills; or the first time to take 1 pill, the interval of 12 hours to take the second pill. The earlier the pill is taken, the better the effect of preventing pregnancy.

2, emergency contraceptive pills need to follow the principle of one remedy at a time, it is only for the last unprotected sex or contraceptive failure to play a role in the next unprotected sex or contraceptive failure does not have a good contraceptive effect, so as long as the occurrence of an unprotected sex or contraceptive failure to avoid unwanted pregnancies need to take the new Sno levonorgestrel drops in a timely manner.

OTC drugs are generally from the original prescription drugs slowly transformed, in the clinic after a long period of extensive practice, the identification of medicinal properties are very safe, very reliable, can be used in the absence of a doctor's supervision, the patient will not lead to other dangers, when the conversion to over-the-counter drugs. So over-the-counter emergency contraceptives like Synthroid levonorgestrel drops are very safe.

Precautions for taking the pill

Contraceptive pills and menstruation

Emergency contraceptive pills can cause irregular menstruation in women. If the pills are taken during the first half of the menstrual cycle, the side effects of the emergency contraceptive pills may interfere with women's menstruation, making it easier for them to bleed from their vaginas; if the pills are taken during the second half of the menstrual cycle, the pills may interfere with women's menstruation to a lesser extent. If its bleeding is about the same as the usual amount of menstruation, it can be treated as a menstrual period.

Early menstruation: Bleeding after the emergency contraceptive pill is clinically known as withdrawal bleeding. In fact, this kind of bleeding can't generally be considered to be the onset of menstruation. If it is taken in the first half of the menstrual cycle, it may interfere with women's menstruation more, easy to vaginal bleeding; taken in the second half of the menstrual cycle on women's menstruation less interference. If the amount of bleeding is about the same as the usual amount of menstruation, it can be treated as a menstrual period and regular contraceptive methods should be used immediately after the bleeding is cleared. If the bleeding is very small, no treatment is needed, but contraception should still be taken until the next menstrual period.
