The use of tablets takes place according to different schemes. If there is only one capsule in the box, it should be consumed within 120 hours of unprotected intercourse. The sooner this happens, the lower the risk of pregnancy. If there are two tablets in the box, they should be taken at intervals of twelve hours. It is recommended to consume them early in the morning and before going to bed, however, the order may change - this will not greatly affect the final result. Depending on the drug chosen, the time of admission will vary. Some of them should be taken with food, and others after.
It is worth considering that some diseases or conditions are a contraindication for taking ECPs:
• The period of lactation and feeding;
• Confirmed pregnancy;
• Hormonal disbalance;
• Oncological diseases;
• Infectious diseases of the reproductive system;
• Chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver;
• Chronic diseases of cardiovascular diseases;
• Obesity;
• Varicose veins;
• Thrombosis.
Does emergency contraception always help? How often can you use a similar method of getting rid of an unwanted pregnancy? Remember that you can not resort to ECP too often. During one cycle, use is allowed only once - all others will be completely useless. Moreover, one should not resort to the monthly use of drugs of this type. Excessive use leads to the formation of severe side effects, including infertility and cervical cancer.
To minimize this risk, it is recommended to use contraception regularly and carefully protect yourself. If pregnancy is already confirmed, there is no point in using ECPs. This will not change the situation in any way, it will only provoke unwanted pain and vomiting. Remember that any drugs with UPA and LNG should be taken according to the instructions. Violation of the method of administration will provoke a number of side effects. Refrain from repeated unprotected intercourse after an ECP. Repeated use of this method of contraception in a cycle will not have an effect and will only worsen your overall health.
