Question 1

is that i-pill medicine works if taken in 72 hours?

Accepted Answer

Wait and see : Plan b decreases the risk of pregnancy but it is not an abortion pill. It works by disrupting ovulation. It works best when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. Wait about 10 days and then check a pregnancy test. Schedule a visit to discuss birth control to avoid scares in the future.

Question 2

what happens if i took 4 hydrocodone pills in 5 hours?

Accepted Answer

Don't do it.: You could potentially put yourself at risk for overdose leading to respiratory depression, coma and death.  If you did this - call 911 or go to your nearest ER.

Question 3

taken plan b in 72 hours i also skip 1pill that is why i took plan b but i am still on my pills..am i safe?

Accepted Answer

Should be: Plan b is not usually needed if only one pill is missed. You can take a pregnancy test in 10 days to confirm.

Question 4

what can happen if i take my bc pill 2 hours late?

Accepted Answer

Should be ok: 2 hours is within a reasonable time range. I still recommend you use condoms every time as a backup measure and to help protect against std's.

Question 5

hi u took postinor 2 13 hours after first pill am i safe?

Accepted Answer

? It is questionable: It is estimated that Postinor-2 will prevent 85% of expected pregnancies. 95% of expected pregnancies will be prevented if taken within the first 24 hours, declining to 58% if taken between 48 hours and 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.After that there is no clear research.  The sooner that you take the tablet, the more effective it is likely to be.  The second tablet 12 hours later

Question 6

i took my mini pill an hour late. would it still be effective?

Accepted Answer

Effective: taking a birth-control pill an hour late should not make a difference in it's effectivenesd.

Question 7

i sleep every night only 4 to 5 hours ,do i need take a pills ?

Accepted Answer

No: It is best not to take pills.The best treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy.Turn off all electronic 1 hour before bed,exercise at least 30 minutes every day and also give up all caffeine as well as no naps dir8ng the day.

Question 8

would it be okay to take two pain relief pills within one hour?

Accepted Answer

Only if instructed : Only id directed by physician to do so .Pain killers are most of the time serious medication that should only be taken as instrcuted by prescriber.

Question 9

is it okay to take my bc pill 2-3 hours, early or late every day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is best to take your Combined Oral Contraceptives (COCs) around the same time everyday to improve compliance, but no big deal provided you remember to take them everyday.  However, if you are taking Progestin only pills (POPs), they need to be taken about the same time everyday, because they are less forgiving. Take Care!

Question 10

is the pill still effective if time taken varies by a couple hours?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you take the BCP daily it is effective. If you miss a day take 2 the following day and if you miss 2 days in a raw take 2 pills following 2 days.  But if you miss 3 days in a raw the effectiveness is gone and you will have withdrawal bleeding and needs other method of contraception at the time.
