Birth Control Pill Overdose: What Are the Effects?

Is Birth Control Pill Overdose a Medical Emergency?

In general, birth control pills contain progestin and estrogen, or only progestin. Both hormones are known to be safe for use in humans. Therefore, the toxicity of birth control pills is very low. However, keep in mind that, high levels of either progestin or estrogen would lead to several side effects in the long term. But it is unlikely to experience any persistent problems after an overdose of the birth control pill. Many studies have found that perhaps you will not have serious side effects immediately even when you took the whole pack of these drugs. [3]
