Hello, when using a contraceptive vaginal ring, can I take the "morning after" pill after intercourse to be sure?

It is not recommended to use the morning-after pill as an additional precaution when you are already using the vaginal ring correctly.
The ring, when used as directed, ensures high contraceptive effectiveness. Combining these methods can lead to hormonal disorders and a decrease in the effectiveness of regular contraception. The morning-after pill should only be used in emergency situations, not as a routine method of contraception.
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
