What Causes Stomach Ache And Headache After Taking Morning After Pill?

Hello, this isn t for me but my girlfriend. On Saturday she took the morning after pill and later experienced stomache pain and headache, so at night took paracetamol. She took 5 tablets that night with a energy drink, so she had some overdose symptoms like trouble breathing and shaking, then Sunday night she took 4 tablets of paracetamol again and had the saw symptoms. The next day she took none but on Tuesday she took 4 tablets again but suffered no symptoms and since last Saturday night she s had some pain coming and going from her liver area and now she has a bit of pain in her whole body. What to do?

Hello
In few cases taking morning after pill sometimes causes hyper acidity .
This hyperacidity produces headache as well as stomach pain .
While paracetamol also causes stomach pain and hyper acidity .
This type of pain may be due to hyper acidity ,so take some antacid but if pain persist then then she may need drugs like pantoprazole-d ,once o rtwice in day for 10 days .
Still no relief then consult a physician and get his opinion.
But she must not take morning after pill till complete relief.
Good luck.
