When is the most effective time to take birth control pills?

Taking birth control pills is very convenient for contraception, so many people will use this method for contraception. However, this drug has a certain time limit for taking. If you miss this time limit, it will not work. Different contraceptives have different methods of taking, so generalizing it will not have the corresponding effect. So, when is the most effective time to take oral contraceptives for contraception? What should we pay attention to?

1. The first is short-acting contraceptives, which are suitable for women without underlying diseases or diabetes. Start taking the medicine on the 5th day from the day of menstruation, 1 tablet every night for 22 consecutive days, which can prevent pregnancy for 1 month.

2. The second is emergency contraceptive pills, which are suitable for women under 40 years old. Generally, the first tablet should be taken within 72 hours after sexual intercourse, and then another tablet should be taken 12 hours later. The earlier you take it, the better the effect.

3. The third is long-acting contraceptive pills. It is suitable for women who cannot have an intrauterine contraceptive device and are unwilling to use other contraceptive methods. Generally, take one tablet on the fifth day after menstruation, and another tablet 20 days later.

4. The above are several ways to take it. There are a few more things to note about emergency contraceptive drugs:

1. It is only a temporary remedy and should never be used repeatedly as a regular contraceptive method.

2. Emergency contraception with drugs can only work for unprotected sexual intercourse this time, and the drug can only be taken once in a menstrual cycle. Other reliable contraceptive measures should still be taken during sexual intercourse after taking the drug in this cycle.

3. If emergency contraception fails and pregnancy occurs, the incidence of neonatal malformations is high and the pregnancy must be terminated.

4. It is best not to take the medicine for the second time within a month as it is harmful to your health and may make the medicine ineffective. It is best to take it no more than three times a year. This medicine is very harmful to women and can cause menstrual disorders.
