To prevent nausea and vomiting, you can take the non-prescription anti-nausea medicine an hour before taking the first dose of EC. Note that this might make you drowsy.
\nIf you end up vomiting within an hour of taking a dose of EC, you may want to take that dose again in case your body did not absorb the hormones yet.
References:
\nMedications and herbal supplements that may make regular contraceptive pills less effective may also reduce the effectiveness of EC pills. So if you are using an enzyme inducer, it probably makes sense to increase the dose of EC. You should talk to your provider about how much to increase the dose.
\nReferences:
\nIf you are already pregnant (even if you do not know it yet), EC will not work. EC can only prevent a pregnancy from starting; it cannot stop one that already has. And if you accidentally take EC before you know you are pregnant, it will not hurt you or the pregnancy.
