Emergency Contraceptives pills are only for emergency purpose

 Emergency contraceptive pills, also known as "morning-after pills," are a form of birth control that can be taken after unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy. These pills work by preventing or delaying ovulation, which stops the release of an egg from the ovary. They can also change the lining of the uterus, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant.

There are two types of emergency contraceptive pills: progestin-only pills and combination pills. Progestin-only pills, such as Plan B, can be taken up to 72 hours after unprotected intercourse. Combination pills, such as Ella, can be taken up to 120 hours after unprotected intercourse.

It's important to note that emergency contraceptive pills are not the same as abortion pills and do not end an established pregnancy. They are also not as effective as regular forms of birth control and should not be used as a regular form of contraception.

However, emergency contraceptive pills are relatively safe and have minimal side effects. The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and headaches. These side effects usually go away within 24 hours.

It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking emergency contraceptive pills, especially if you have a history of blood clots, stroke or heart disease. Also if you are using certain medications, such as anticoagulants, or if you have any allergies to the ingredients in the pills.

It's important to note that emergency contraceptive pills do not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Therefore, it is recommended to use condoms or other forms of protection to reduce the risk of STIs.

In conclusion, emergency contraceptive pills can be a safe and effective option for preventing pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. They work by preventing or delaying ovulation and can be taken up to 72-120 hours after unprotected intercourse. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking them and to use condoms or other forms of protection to reduce the risk of STIs.
