Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

What to do after an unprotected sex?

Me and my boyfriend had sex last night and he ejaculated inside.

I have not taken any birth control pills. What to do if i should not get pregnant?

Does it work if I take birth control pills?

Please help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for trusting us for your health care. I have gone through your history and understand your concerns. If you had unprotected sex and wanted to discontinue the pregnancy, I suggest I-Pill (Levonorgestrel). You can take one tablet of I-Pill 1.5 mg as early as possible (maximum within 72 hours). Only one tablet is required in your case. Menstrual irregularities are the side effects of the pill.

I hope you found the answer helpful. Feel free to ask for more information.

Good luck.

Regards.
