What medicine is suggested for unprotected sex to avoid pregnancy ?
Patient: Hi,I have had unprotected sex and was wondering if I could use Falmina as an emergency contraceptive. I took 3 pills immediately after intercourse ( I'm sure that is wrong, but I have no idea). Basically what is the proper dosage of Falmina if I am trying to use it as an emergency contraceptive? (how many and when should I take it???) Doctor: Thanks for query on HCM.Emergency contraception is effective only in the first few days following intercourse It should be taken within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.Falmina is combined pill and can work as a emergency pill but you have to repeat it after 12 hours to prevent pregnancy.Now wait and watch for next cycle or withdrawal bleeding.Otherwise consult gynecologist for further guidance.
