Can Oralcon Be Taken To Prevent Unwanted Pregnancy?
I m not on any contraceptives. I had unprotected sex and took 2 Oralcon pills 2hours later. Then i read somewhere saying with Oralcon you take 4pills after unprotected sex and more after 12hours, can i take 2 more pills after 8hours and the others after 12hours? I also want to know, which sperms makes you pregnant? The ones during ejaculation or after ejaculation?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Oralcon active ingredient contains Levonorgestrel. Two of such tablets are sufficient for emergency contraceptive. It should be taken as soon as possible. However it can even be used for 5 days, but with passage of time the efficacy decreases.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
