Is it safe to take Emergency Contracptive pills if I can take regular birth control pills?
Yes. Women who cannot take hormones for medical reasons are safe to take emergency contraception. Contraindications are based on long-term use. EC is a short-term dose of hormones lasting about 24 hours in the body. Progestin-only pills, like Plan B, are available for women who cannot take too much estrogen. Some doctors say, EC pills are safer than aspirin.
