[Private Research Institute] A big dismantling of the "morning after pill"!
EC Pills are a form of emergency contraception that are required to be taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse. By ingesting high concentrations of progesterone , they affect the concentration of hormones in the body and are used to " "Suppress ovulation" and "interfere with uterine implantation" to achieve the effect of emergency contraception.
． How should it be taken?
The morning-after pill is available in one-piece or two-piece packages .
The pill comes in a pill and should be taken immediately after sexual intercourse.
Generally, the best effect is within 12 hours and should not exceed 72 hours .
For two-piece contraceptive pills, the first pill should be taken within 12 hours of sexual intercourse and no later than 72 hours.
After 12 hours , take the second tablet .
． It is a high-dose drug and has correspondingly greater side effects.
Because it is an emergency contraceptive measure , it contains a higher dose of hormones , which is eight times the dose of ordinary morning-after pills.
The side effects are correspondingly greater. It is more likely to cause nausea, vomiting, headache, breast swelling and pain, and menstrual bleeding than the morning-after pill . It can easily cause irregular menstruation , so it should not be regarded as a routine contraceptive method.
． The later you take it, the worse the contraceptive effect will be.
The contraceptive effect will decrease with the delay in taking it, so it is best to take it within 72 hours after sexual intercourse.
A report stated:
Taken within 24 hours , the effect is 95% ;
Taken within 24-48 hours , the effect is 85% ;
When taken within 48-72 hours , the effect is 58%.
Therefore, if you need to take the morning-after pill (EC pills) , you should see a doctor as soon as possible to obtain relevant professional advice.
