Hi,
Unwanted 72 (0.75 MG) Tablet belongs to the category of progestins.It is used as an emergency
contraceptive.
Please use it as an emergency measure only with unplanned sudden sexual exposure.
This medicine helps in preventing pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of an
unprotected intercourse or failure of the usual method of
contraception.
Being an oral pill, Unwanted 72 contains the manufactured progestin hormone
Levonorgestrel and prevents fertilization or pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation.
High levels of these hormones prevent the next cycle and endometrial shedding.
For routine use, other OC Pills should be used which your gynecologist will prescribe.
Discontinuation of all oral contraceptives restore
fertility and there are no ill after effects. Yes, smoking has an adverse effect on fertility and please quit.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
