Is Next Choice Pill Safe To Take?
I am 16 years old and I had protected sex, however I am not on birth control. I wanted to take the extra precaution and my boyfriend who is of age bought me the Next Choice pill. I am concerned about the side effects and long term problems. There are two pills, and I am not sure if I should take one or both or neither.

Hi,
You can use both if you are concerned about unprotected sex as otherwise if unwanted pregnancy can have more implications than the pill. This much dose doesn't cause any long term side effects if not used log term or repeatedly. it's better to use protection than to worry about side effects in future. Also helpful in hygiene aspects and STD protection.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
