When should i-pill be taken, before or after intercourse?

Asked by Male, 24 · 16 days ago

i-pill should be taken after unprotected intercourse, not before. It is most effective when taken as soon as possible, ideally within 24 hours, and can still work up to 72 hours after sex. i-pill is an emergency contraceptive and should not be used as a regular method of birth control. If you find yourself needing it repeatedly or are unsure about contraception, it is best to consult a doctor for safer and more reliable long-term options.

The i-Pill Emergency Contraceptive Pill should be taken after intercourse, ideally as soon as possible, and no later than 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. Taking it within 12 hours is preferable for the best effectiveness.

  • Take the pill with meals to reduce stomach upset.
  • If vomiting occurs within 3 hours of taking the pill, consult a doctor as the dose may need to be repeated.
  • Do not use it if you are already pregnant, as it will not terminate an existing pregnancy.
  • If you experience persistent side effects like nausea, abdominal pain, or unusual bleeding, see a gynecologist promptly.

For personalized advice and to ensure safe use, please consult a gynecologist. If you have any urgent concerns, contact Apollo Emergency at 1066.
