Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had unprotected sex November 16th my boyfriend pulled out in time but he was not sure so I took Plan B One-Step Friday the 18th around 8:10am. When I swallowed the pill I bit it in half and then swallowed. Right now I m a little gassy and my lower abdomen feels tight. Will the pill still be effective if I chewed then swallowed it?
Pill is still effective as you have chewed and then swallowed. Gas problem is due to the side effect of the pill. It contain high progesterone and cause relaxation of smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract and cause gas problem. Take tablet gas x and uni enzyme Drink plenty of water Take small frequent meal rather than large meal Take light diet like banana, rice, toast, yogurt and buttermilk. Do regular exercise like walking and running. Hope this may help you
Best regards Dr. Sagar
