How long does emergency contraception pills last?

With the increasingly open-minded ideas in modern times, many people use birth control pills as a contraceptive measure, regardless of whether it is good for themselves or not, because they feel it does not matter and they can deal with it later. They do not know how to protect themselves. Contraceptive pills are now generally taken within 72 hours. It is difficult to say whether they are still effective after this time, so they should be taken as early as possible. So how long does the emergency contraceptive pill last?

If you use emergency contraceptive pills, you must take them within 72 hours (the sooner the better) after contraceptive failure or unprotected intercourse. After taking emergency contraceptive pills, you must not have unprotected intercourse during this menstrual cycle. If you have sex again, you should use conventional contraceptive methods. If your period is missed, you should go to the hospital and take a pregnancy test to determine whether emergency contraception has failed. Taking emergency contraceptive pills will affect the menstrual cycle, making it difficult to calculate the safe period in the following months. Women should try to use highly effective contraceptive methods after this.

After taking this medicine, you should not have unprotected sexual intercourse during the current menstrual cycle. Although the medicine still had some effect on the night of the 24th, the effect was very weak and did not achieve the desired contraceptive effect. It is recommended to use condoms during sexual intercourse and not to use the rhythm method of contraception in the near future. Do not rely on emergency contraception for regular birth control.

Emergency contraceptive pills are not a panacea. Some people will still get pregnant after taking contraceptive pills within the prescribed time. At this time, even if you want to have the baby, the baby may not be healthy. Therefore, you must choose other contraceptive methods, such as condoms. This method is currently the safest contraceptive method and does not harm the human body.
