What is the Drawback of Repeated Use of Emergency Contraceptive Pills

Emergency contraceptive pill is used to prevent unwanted pregnancies. These should not be confused with regular contraception pills. Depending on your cycle an Emergency contraceptive pill prevents the release of the egg or if the egg has been released it prevents the egg and the sperm to combine, and if this has also already taken place, the pill prevents the zygote to attach itself to the uterus.

It is highly recommended to consume the Morning after Pill as soon as the unprotected sex or forced sex has taken place. Most pills still work up to 3 days (72 hours) post the intercourse. This makes the pill up to 90% more effective.

Side effects of using the Emergency Contraceptive Pills repeatedly:

  • The pills are to be used for emergency purposes only and are not recommended for regular/frequent use. For regular contraception a different set of Contraception pills are already available.
  • Headaches, vomiting, anxiousness, stomach pains, gas, acidity are some of the common side effects of consuming Emergency Contraceptive Pills. To prevent this, never take the tablets on empty stomach.
  • Period cycles are disturbed. This usually settles within one or two months.
  • Bloating and water retention are also commonly seen.
  • It also adversely affects future pregnancies, by disrupting the production of the egg.
