Brief Answer:
Norethisterone. 10 mg
Detailed Answer:
hello and welcome to health care magic. I will advise not to take plan b as it can cause irregular periods and creeps. instead you can use norethisterone 10 mg tablets daily 2-3 days before your expected date of periods and continue until u don't want them . periods will occur 4-7 days after u stop the drug . regards Dr Manisha Jain.

Thank you very much.
What are "creeps" and what is norethisterone?
Is it over the counter?
I have taken Plan B before, about 8 years ago with no side effects.
Thank you in advance

Brief Answer:
norethisterone betrer
Detailed Answer:
Sorry for the creeps, I meant cramps. Although u didn't have any side effect earlier ,plan b had very high dose of progesterone which causes your uterus out of phase for implantation. It is unreliable for delaying periods. Norethisterone is a prescription drug.
