Who takes injectable contraceptives can take the morning-after pill?

Expert answer:

Yes. The woman who takes contraceptive contraceptive you can take the pill of the next day.

When the contraceptive is applied correctly, at the right time (every month or every three months depending on the medication) and without forgetting, there is no need for the woman to take the morning-after pill even though she has had unprotected vaginal sex.

The contraceptive used routinely presents good safety to avoid unwanted pregnancy.

It is worth remembering that the morning-after pill contains a high amount of hormone capable of unbalancing the woman's menstrual cycle and should not be taken constantly.

The woman who already uses the contraceptive contraceptive only needs to take the morning-after pill in the situation:

  • delay greater than 2 weeks in the injection of Medroxyprogesterone (eg Depo-Provera®).

Outside of these situations, there is no need to use the two methods together.
