Birth Control Pill Overdose: What Are the Effects?

Should You Visit a General Practitioner?

If you do not want to visit the hospital, then consider connecting with a healthcare professional or a primary care physician. This is particularly important when you have worrisome signs, such as unusual rash or frequent or heavy vomiting/nausea. Although vomiting, nausea, and headache typically occur soon after taking birth control pills, other symptoms would develop over the coming days. These may include vaginal bleeding, tender breasts, discolored urine, mood changes, or drowsiness. In case you want to get medical advice but do not have a primary care expert, contact the clinician that prescribed birth control pills to you. [6]
