Take Action pills are Emergency Contraceptive pills containing Levonorgestrel ( LNG ). Levonorgestrel ( LNG ) is used by women to prevent pregnancy after birth control failure (such as a broken condom) or unprotected sex. This medication is an emergency contraceptive and should not be used as a regular form of birth control. It is a progestin hormone that works mainly by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation) during your menstrual cycle. It also makes vaginal fluid thicker to help prevent sperm from reaching an egg (fertilization) and changes the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. Using this medication will not stop an existing pregnancy or protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia). This medication may not work well in women over a certain weight (for example, greater than 164 pounds or 74 kilograms), or if you have used certain other medications within the past month. This effect can result in pregnancy. Its a high dose pill. Oral Contraceptive pills that are usually taken have very low dose of LNG. Due to this high hormone dose, the menses bleeding of the next few months is disturbed. This is what you are facing. If you are having unprotected sex, using Take action frequently can make your menstrual cycle go haywire. and cause erratic bleeding. if you have sex more than 1/ month, you need regular contraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy. But these CANNOT protect you from Sexually Transmitted infections. Condoms are the safest bet, and need to be used at each act of sex.

If the need be, consult a gynecologist to take medicines to arrest this excess bleeding.
