Plan B Pill

[ckg123 7]

Okay, so I had a slip up and haven't been on my nuva ring since after surgery because the antibiotics cancelled it out. I'm 5 and a half weeks post op. How is my body going to absorb this plan B pill? Do I need more than 1? I'm confused?

Obviously ask your doctor and/or the pharmacist, but from what I've been told with the sleeve there are no restrictions or changes on most medications, Vitamins, etc. The stomach still digests it the same way. Just make sure to tell them what else you're taking so they know.

The only thing that seems to happen is some people have problems with larger pills, and they recommend you stay away from things like aspirin and ibuprofen (Advil) because they can irritate the stomach.

I've heard the same thing as COsleevedude: no restrictions on meds, but try not to gulp a horse pill! Definitely call the doc or pharmacist, and do it soon. You do not want to wait until its too late....

Maybe the place you got the meds can give advice? Im wondering if it could be crushed? But please ask a qualified person. Im NOT a doc, but common sense is the best medicine, and right now, you need a real medical person to tell you how to proceed...good luck, and good on you for being proactive and not choosing DENIAL!!!

Please keep us posted :-)
