Knowing The Side Effects Of Plan B

Plan B is one of the more popularly known morning-after contraceptives in the market

. Its main purpose is to prevent the possible fertilization of the woman's egg cell either by reducing the risk of cell implantation in the uterus or by destroying the nucleus of the egg cell. However, like most over-the-counter contraceptives, some of the known Plan B side effects may cause a few women concern.

According to health care providers though, these unwanted symptoms are relatively easier to manage as compared to the other morning-after pills out there. Some of the more common Plan B side effects include:

1. Abdominal pains. Some women report cramp-like pains in the lower abdominal region while others say that shooting pains usually happen near the lower end of the obliques or the side muscles of the body. In many cases, these abdominal pains would normally recede in intensity and frequency 6 to 12 hours after taking the pill.

2. Change in menstruation pattern. Like all female contraceptive products, Plan B can also affect regular menstrual flow and frequency. This is to be expected since the drug tends to target the egg cells in the woman's reproductive system. Some women have unusually heavier or lighter menstruations, while others experience infrequent menstrual cycles for at least 2 to 3 months afterwards. Blood spotting in between menstruation is also considered normal.

3. Dizziness and nausea. About 23.1 women in a controlled group reported feeling bouts of dizziness, which leads to nausea or vomiting several minutes after taking Plan B. However, rest and sleep are the usual recommendations to ease such symptoms. Withholding food for one to two hours would also help keep the person from throwing up.

4. Fatigue. Some women feel tired faster if they are on the pill. Others feel a certain amount of weakness in their limbs or overall fatigue. These symptoms could be eased by taking naps or by having a full eight hours of restful sleep.
