Thinking of Taking an Emergency Contraceptive Pill?
Emergency contraceptive pills (commonly known as Unwanted 72) can help prevent pregnancy after unprotected in*******se — but they are not meant for regular use.
Like any hormonal medication, they may cause temporary side effects such as:
• Headache or dizziness
• Nausea or bloating
• Breast tenderness
• Spotting or irregular bleeding
• Palpitations or uneasiness
These effects usually settle on their own, but frequent or unsupervised use can disturb your menstrual cycle and hormonal balance.
👩⚕️ Dr. Richa Gupta, Gynecologist in Dwarka, Delhi, advises women to use emergency pills only when necessary and to consult a doctor for safe, long-term contraception options
📍 If you experience severe symptoms, delayed periods, or repeated need for emergency pills, it’s best to seek medical guidance.
