Posted on Wed, 6 Dec 2023

Question: If I get diarrhoea about 22 hours after taking the morning after pill, will the pill be ineffective?

Brief Answer:
No effect

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Having diarrhoea after taking the morning after pill do not affects the efficacy of the pill, as the pill is absorbed in the blood by then.
The pill is ineffective only one has vomiting within 12 hours of taking the pill.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
