Brief Answer: Unlikely... Detailed Answer: Hi, Emergency contraceptive pills like I-pill has listed to cause minor side effects; but nothing alarming. Serious systemic side effects are not common unless you take these pills for more than once in a month. Further if you are sexually very active and want to avoid pregnancy, please consider regular birth control measures such as oral contraceptives instead of frequent I pill use. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards

Answered by Dr. Dr. Prasad J (4 hours later)
Brief Answer: I prefer oral contraceptives.... Detailed Answer: Hi, Oral contraceptives were better then intrauterine devices a few years ago. But currently the latest generations intrauterine devices are medicated; thereby closing the gap between the two. So if you are going in for medicated T devices (not simple copper T) it is acceptable. But in routine practice, I prefer to use oral birth control medicines simply because it is much easier to handle, no procedure involved, no chance of misplacement's and intrauterine infections. Intrauterine devices also has its advantages. Therefore it is going to be your and your doctors choice based on comfort. If I were to be your treating doctor, I would choose oral contraceptives. Discuss with your gynecologist. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications. Regards
