PÍLULA DO DIA SEGUINTE: IMPORTÂNCIA DA ATENÇÃO FARMACÊUTICA NO USO DE CONTRACETIVO DE EMERGÊNCIA PARA AS ADOLESCENTES

Abstract

The morning-after pill (PDS) is called the postcoital contraceptive pill by doctors. It is an emergency contraceptive method and must be taken within 72 hours of intercourse. It is suitable for cases of sexual abuse, broken condoms, or failure of other contraceptive methods.  It's made up of the same hormones as contraceptives, but at a slightly higher dose, you can find contraceptives in one box, two boxes, or four boxes. This pill can only be sold with a prescription because it contains high doses of hormones, which can have serious consequences for women's bodies. It is very important that women use outpatient contraceptives only in emergencies and not as a contraceptive method. Women who have sex frequently can use other contraceptive methods such as condoms, intrauterine devices and contraceptives. They are prescribed by doctors they trust. Remember that the World Health Organization recommends the use of contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and condoms to prevent STDs (Sexually Transmitted Disease). Its effect is not as good as that of contraceptives commonly used in daily life and varies with time of use. The equation is as follows: the longer the delay in ingestion, the greater the chance of pregnancy.
