Hello doctor,
Can a contraceptive pill be taken at 21 years of age?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Yes, contraceptive pill can be taken at 21 years of age. In fact, it can be started since the woman becomes sexually active after the onset of menses. If your concern is emergency contraceptive, which is to be taken within 72 hours of intercourse, it can also be taken at the age of 21 years.
