Ipill is not a vitamin tab or head ache pill. it has many side effects, don't miss use the same it can be fatal. pl read the side effects of Ipill before you use ti again,
The side effects of I-Pill include: Ectopic pregnancy, vomiting, nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain, gastro-intestinal upset, diarrhea, dizziness, headache, breast tenderness, early/late onset of the next period, increased menstrual bleeding, vaginal hemorrhage (bleeding) etc. Due to its potential toxicity, in advanced countries this pill is a prescription only medicine and cannot be bought over the counter or advertised in the lay media. Moreover the efficacy of the pill changes as per the timing of the ingestion of the medicine. It is likely to be 95 percent effective if taken within 24 hours of sexual intercourse, 85 percent, if taken within 25-48 hours and only 58 percent if taken after 49 but before 72 hours. It has no role after 72 hours. Since I-Pill is not 100 percent effective, the possibility of pregnancy cannot be ruled out. Therefore the importance of follow-up for 3-weeks must be clearly understood. During this period effective, barrier method (condoms) must be used and if the menstrual period does not start, then the possibility of ectopic pregnancy (i.e. fetus outside the uterus, in the tubes which can be serious) or toxicity to the fetus needs to be assessed.
So take utmost care before using the Ipill which can harm the health of the lady .
Ipill should be used as a last resort and in unavoidable situation, not just because there is ipill do not be careless about having sex. use condom , if married you can use oral contraceptive for long term benefit of keeping pregnancy at far .
Do consult a good gynecologist and get treated for the same .
