Posted on Tue, 20 Jan 2015

Question: I had my periods last month from the 16th and had unprotected sex on the 26th. I took an ipill after that. I had unprotected sex again last night that is on the 2nd. Can I take an ipill again today? Also can "M2-Tone" medicine be used as an birth control pill? Please advice!

Hello,

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns .

Following is my reply:

1. You can take another ipill today. But avoid such episodes in future and take regular contraception as ipill should not be used this way.

2. M2 tone syrup cannot be used a sbirth control pill.
