Taking a second levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pill (i-Pill) within a short span such as two days can increase the risk of side effects but is generally not harmful if needed.

🩺 Risks and Side Effects

• Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, fatigue, breast tenderness, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, and uterine bleeding.
• Taking a second dose shortly after the first may intensify these symptoms or cause them to last longer.
• There is no evidence that repeated use within a short time causes serious harm, but frequent use is not recommended as a regular contraceptive method.

⚕️ Effectiveness and Considerations

• The i-Pill is effective if taken within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse but is not intended as ongoing contraception.
• For a second incident of unprotected sex (especially with condom failure), taking another dose might offer additional protection, but consulting a doctor is best to evaluate timing and options.
• Frequent emergency pill use should prompt discussion of regular contraceptive methods with a gynecologist.

🩺 When to See a Doctor

• Severe or persistent side effects such as continuous vomiting, heavy bleeding, or allergic reactions.
• If there is uncertainty about pregnancy status after repeated unprotected sex.

It's advisable to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice on taking another i-Pill and for longer-term contraception planning.

Taking the i-Pill (Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg) within 10 minutes after intercourse may cause side effects, most of which are mild and temporary.

🩺 Common Side Effects

• Nausea and vomiting
• Lower abdominal pain or cramps
• Headache and dizziness
• Tiredness or fatigue
• Diarrhea
• Spotting or uterine bleeding

These side effects usually subside within a few days. If they persist or worsen, it is important to consult a gynecologist.

⚠️ Important Precautions

• Do not use if you are already pregnant, as it will not terminate an existing pregnancy.
• Avoid if allergic to Levonorgestrel or any ingredients.
• Inform your doctor if breastfeeding, have heart disease, blood clotting disorders, liver or kidney issues, or other serious health concerns.
• Be cautious about operating machinery or driving since sleepiness can occur.
• Avoid herbal supplements like St John’s Wort during use due to interactions.

If you experience severe abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, or signs of an allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), seek emergency care promptly.
