I'm really worried about my 30-year-old daughter. She's having bad cramps, and we usually use BUSCOPAN tablets for relief. But she's currently on medication for high blood pressure and is also 3 months pregnant. Is it safe for her to keep using BUSCOPAN? If so, how often can she take it? I'm concerned about any risks for her and the baby.

I had sex on Wednesday and then took Postinor 2 on Friday, but I had sex again on Sunday at 4 am. Do I need to take another Postinor? I'm kinda worried about what I should do next.

It is recommended to take another dose of Postinor 2 within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse. So in your case, since you had sex on Sunday at 4:00 am, you can take another dose of Postinor 2 as soon as possible to further reduce the risk of pregnancy. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions provided with the medication.

Is it okay to use saliva as a lubricant during sex or masturbation? I'm just wondering if there are any health concerns or risks I should be aware of.

Using saliva as a lubricant during sex or masturbation is not recommended as it can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, herpes, and gonorrhea, and may also cause vaginal or anal irritation, yeast infections, or other infections; instead, opt for water-based or silicone-based lubricants
