What Causes Abdominal Gas After Taking Plan B?

I had unprotected sex November 16th my boyfriend pulled out in time but he was not sure so I took Plan B One-Step Friday the 18th around 8:10am. When I swallowed the pill I bit it in half and then swallowed. Right now I m a little gassy and my lower abdomen feels tight. Will the pill still be effective if I chewed then swallowed it?

Hello dear
I understand your concern

Pill is still effective as you have chewed and then swallowed.
Gas problem is due to the side effect of the pill.
It contain high progesterone and cause relaxation of smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract and cause gas problem.
Take tablet gas x and uni enzyme
Drink plenty of water
Take small frequent meal rather than large meal
Take light diet like banana, rice, toast, yogurt and buttermilk.
Do regular exercise like walking and running.
Hope this may help you

Best regards
