A member asked:

Can you take a plan b pill and still take your normal dosage of birth control pill on the same day ? what would happen?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Increased sideeffect: Its not advisable to take both Plan B and a birth control pill together. Either regimen if taken properly lowers the risk of pregnancy. Taking these together increase risks of side effects which includes heavy/irregular menstrual bleeding, fatigue, abdominal pain/ cramps, breast tenderness, diarrhea, stomach problems. Please practice safe sex. Use condoms. Stay safe.
