i-pill ke side effects: spotting, stomach pain, vomiting - #22265
Hi Doctor, I took an i-pill on Sunday. Today I have light dark brown spotting, mild stomach pain, breast tenderness, and I vomited 4 times. The symptoms are improving but I want to confirm if this is normal. Please advise.

Doctors’ responses
Based on your symptoms and timing, this is a common and expected reaction after taking an i-pill (emergency contraceptive). Light dark brown spotting → very common due to sudden hormonal changes Mild stomach/lower abdominal pain → normal side effect Breast tenderness → hormone-related, expected Vomiting → a known side effect; if it occurred more than 2 hours after taking the i-pill, the medicine has already worked
Hello,
Yes—these symptoms are common side effects of i-pill
Why this happens: Brown spotting: very common due to hormonal change after i-pill Stomach pain / cramps: expected Vomiting & nausea: common, especially within a few days Breast tenderness: normal hormonal effect
Good signs: Symptoms are already improving No severe pain or heavy bleeding
Eat light food, stay hydrated Avoid repeating i-pill in the same cycle Expect your next period to be early or delayed by up to a week
Overall, this sounds normal after i-pill.
Take care Thank you !
