Does The Effect Of An I-pill Decrease Due To Intoxication?

Posted on Wed, 30 Sep 2015

Question: Hi, My gf and me had protected intercourse but my contraceptive tore inside her. Within 45mins to 1 hour she took an ipill. She was also intoxicated at the same time. I want to know if alcohol in her system will decrease the working of the pill. Is there anything else that we can do? Her period cycle is on the 19th. What can we expect - an early/delayed period?

early period possible

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) ipill effect will not decrease due to alcohol. Dont worry about it.

2) She might expect an early period due to ipill but that is not compulsory.

3) Nothing else is needed to be done. Wait and watch for periods to start.

4) She ill not be pregnant as she has taken ipill at right time.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol

Hi Dr,

Thank you for easing our stress.

However, just wanted to let you know that there has been extremely light vaginal bleeding last 1-2 days.

Is this because of the pill that was taken?

She still seems to be worried. What can we do for the same?

Thank you once again.
