Double the dose: Carbamazepine causes the hormones in hormonal contraceptives to be broken down more quickly. Plan B, Take Action, My Way, AfterPill, Ella are emergency contraceptives that uses high doses of hormones to prevent implantation of the fertilized embryo in the uterus. You will need to take double the dose while taking Carbamazepine. Side effects: irregular bleeding, nausea, breast tenderness.
