I vomited 5 hours after taking the pill. Am I still protected?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your concern.

It could be gastroenteritis secondary to alcohol intake. If you have been on a pill for more than a month and this is your second pack, you have nothing to worry if you just missed out one pill.

As most probably you have vomited out the pill, you can take another pill for today and then continue as once a day every day. You do not have to take a double pill.

You will continue to be protected and just continue with the pack. The problem will only arise if you have not been consistently taking it, if you just missed it today because of the vomiting, it will not be too significant.

For the vomiting:

1. Hydrate yourself.
2. Take Vitamin B and Advil (Ibuprofen) for your hangover.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Okay, if the sexual contact happened within 72 hours, you may take the modified emergency pills using the Lady pill.

Take four tablets 12 hours apart for two doses, then disregard the rest of the pills.

This emergency pill may cause a disturbance in your usual period. However, for now, we cannot do anything about it. You may have an early period and cramping even if you have not yet finished your Yasmin pack (a combination of Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol).

I would also suggest:

• Do not stop the Yasmin. Just take one pill a day.
• If you get your period even if you are not yet finished with the Yasmin pack, disregard the pack and start another.
• If you are going to have intercourse for this month and next, use a condom first.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
