Hello Doctor,
I took Plan B 72 hours ago, and just an hour ago, I had diarrhea. Does this affect its effectiveness, or will I be okay?
Hello
Thank you for reaching out Dr. Galen, Please find the below response to your query.
1. Unfortunately, it's difficult to say for certain whether the diarrhea has impacted the effectiveness of Plan B. Diarrhea can sometimes affect the absorption of medications, potentially reducing their effectiveness. It’s important to get examined as soon as possible, and I recommend taking a urine pregnancy test to check for any signs of pregnancy. A scan may also be useful to rule out any concerns.
2. For future prevention, consider more reliable and regular forms of contraception, especially if you are sexually active. Teenage pregnancies can carry increased risks and complications, so it's always a good idea to follow up with your healthcare provider for further advice and support.
Thanks
