Hi,
The emergency contraceptive pill, also known as the "I-pill," is generally considered safe and effective for preventing pregnancy when taken as directed. It's important to note that the I-pill is designed to be used as an emergency contraception method and should not be relied upon as a regular form of birth control. Taking it multiple times within a year is not recommended, as it is intended for occasional use only.
As for the side effects of stopping the I-pill, there are generally no specific side effects associated with discontinuing the medication. It is designed to be taken as a single dose or in a specific regimen, and once you stop taking it, its effects should wear off within a short period. However, your friend needs to consider finding a regular, reliable form of contraception if she is sexually active and does not wish to become pregnant.
There are various options available, including hormonal contraceptives (such as birth control pills, patches, or injections) or non-hormonal methods (such as condoms or intrauterine devices). Your friend should consult with a healthcare professional to discuss her options and choose the most suitable contraceptive method for her.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. If you require a personalized response, kindly use the Ask A Doctor service and post a follow-up query.
