"They take it several times a month or before sex", does the emergency pill have side effects?

The emergency pill is one of the contraceptive methods that is considered "plan B". It is advised to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse to avoid unwanted pregnancy.

Pharmacist Teuta Maçi explained in "Home Taste" that efficiency is higher in the first 24 hours. The pill does not affect a subsequent pregnancy, as long as it is taken according to the recommendation. The cat excludes cases where the pill is harmful such as when taken before intercourse or taken more often.

Teuta Maçi: The emergency pill is up to 85% effective and this is only if taken within the first 24 hours. After 24 hours, with every 24 hours that pass, this efficiency decreases, so I have also heard from my friends that despite having taken the emergency pill, they still got pregnant, which is not a problem for childbirth because sometimes the idea is created I took the pill and it didn't work. There is no impact, so be calm. However, the emergency pill is safe to a certain extent, this safety decreases the longer it is delayed from the moment of the act.

What I want to say is something else that we also see from the practice that ladies often take before performing the act with the idea that they are protected and that they can have intercourse freely which is extremely wrong, either in concept or in defense. In the first place because the protection is not optimal and in the second place because the side effects, in any case, even though they are small, few and can be tolerated in rare sporadic uses, the moment it becomes a habit and that burdens the body with a hormonal dose, of course it will bring consequences first in the change of the cycle and then also with other effects, whether gastrointestinal, hormonal changes that result in a change in the cycle of bleeding days, so there are consequences and should not be taken lightly free from the person themselves whenever they think it is the fastest way to solve a problem.

Gynecologist Elinda Gjata reinforces this and adds that there are girls who take the emergency pill several times a month. This causes the body to be overloaded with hormones which are best taken in daily and controlled doses.

Elinda Gjata: Indiscriminate use of contraceptives, especially emergency ones, is also seen in young girls, but not only in fact, taking them several times a month. If they risk several times in a month it is better to take the pill every day mini-dosed than to take booms of hormones continuously during the month.
