A new study shows that the morning-after pill works better when you take the painkiller piroxicam with it.
cientists have found that adding a pain killer to an emergency contraceptive pill can improve the latter’s effectiveness., researchers from Hong Kong and Sweden report that women taking piroxicam, an anti-inflammatory available by prescription only, together with the oral emergency contraceptive levonorgestrel , had a significantly lowered chance of getting pregnant compared to women taking the same contraceptive pill and a placebo.
Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug , a category that includes well-known pain killers like aspirin,, and naproxen. All of them work by inhibiting the activity of cyclooxygenase enzymes in the body, which generate prostaglandins. It’s the prostaglandins, a group of lipid compounds, that connects the seemingly unrelated drugs: Prostaglandins are involved both in reducing inflammation and triggering ovulation, which releases the egg from the ovaries during each menstrual cycle.
