Currently experiencing food poisoning and i have to take my birth control soon. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is recommended to continue taking birth control as prescribed, even if experiencing food poisoning. Vomiting and diarrhea can affect the absorption of medication, so it is important to use a backup method of contraception, such as condoms, for at least 48 hours after vomiting or having diarrhea. If symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention.
