Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

One day ago, my partner and I had sex. And the next morning she takes Azithral 500 mg. Will this affect her pregnancy? When do the female egg and male sperm actually connect with each other?

Answered by Dr. Sameer Kumar

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Azithral (Azithromycin) is safe during pregnancy and is a category-B drug. So, it is not going to harm in any way. Moreover, after intercourse, the sperms usually take 24 hours to fertilize the egg in the fallopian tube if it has already been released. The life of the egg is also 24 hours. So, if there is a conception, still the medicine would not affect the fetus.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

In this stage can she use Unwanted-72?

Answered by Dr. Sameer Kumar

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, she can choose for Unwanted-72 within 72 hours of intercourse to avoid unplanned pregnancy.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

I do not know if during intercourse the male sperm had injected or not. So, can I use Unwanted-72? And the other thing is that without any intercourse if I use the Unwanted-72 what will happen?

Answered by Dr. Sameer Kumar

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If the sex was unprotected, then there are chances that pre-cum too can get her pregnant even if there was no ejaculation.

Secondly, Unwanted-72 is not recommended if there was no intercourse.
