A member asked:

Can you tell me what to do about birth control and morning after pill together?

Dr. G A answered

Waste of money: Some birth control can work like a morning after pill. But you can take them together with the safe risk of some extra side effects.

Yes: An emergency contraceptive can be taken concurrent with an oral contraceptive.
