Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

1. The best way to avoid pregnancy is to use condoms in case of partners with unknown sexual health and to tell the female partner to use low dose birth control pills if you have a regular partner.

2. Taking iPill can help but the use of iPill should be in emergency only and not more than once in 3 to 4 months.

3. Taking iPill regularly can cause problems like hyperstimulation syndromw, infertility, cysts in ovary, polycystic ovarian syndrome and irregular periods.

Hope your query is answered.
Please write back if you have any doubts.
