Metronidazole (flagyl) 500mg

Began taking metronidazale (flagyl)500mg about a week ago. My husband and I had intercourse exactly a week ago n didnt use protection n im not on birth control. I'm worried i might get pregnant again. Im not trying to gt pregnant i wasnt able to get the plan b on time. Would this medication do prevent me from getting pregnant. Its still too early too tell if im pregnant or not cuz its only been a week but. Im trying to resolve this lil issue i have before its too late.

No, I'm sorry but this medication will not protect you against pregnancy.

Learn more Metronidazole details here.

If it's only been a week, why didn't you still get Plan B, when you had the chance?

While it is most effective if taken during the first 72 hours (3 days), you can take it up to 5 days after unprotected sex and there will still be a good chance that it will protect against your getting pregnant.

I think many young women misunderstand this and how it works. You can take it anytime up to 5 full days after having unprotected sex. It just isn't effective if taken before you have sex, or after that 5 day period.

You really need to get a reliable contraception method to use, if you don't want to get pregnant.

There are many, including Plan B, that you can purchase ahead of time and keep on hand for when you need them.

Then there are others, such as oral contraceptives or IUDs that provide the most reliable protection and would be constantly effective, unless you missed tablets of the oral ones.

Well lady if you are pregnant then you are. Flabyl has nothing to do with human reproduction system which has been proven, so get yourself checked to find out the reason for your sickness, you might not be pregnant ans still have the stomach bug or it can be something else.
