I think I'll need the EOC eventually and I'm afraid it won't do me any good

Question

I am wondering about this because I weigh over 180 lbs. Is it true that emergency oral contraception is unlikely to work if you weigh more than 180 pounds? I am about 1.60 m tall

Hello ma'am, how tall are you? Thanks for the feedback. There are several types of emergency oral contraceptives (EOC), and there is one that remains effective up to a body mass index of 35. Having said that, if you think you need ECP, I invite you to go to a pharmacy for a short consultation to identify your needs. Your pharmacist will take care of explaining the rest of the process, presenting you with the choices and following up closely with you. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
