Brief Answer:
Cyclenorm E and P are contraceptives

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Cyclenorm E and P are meant for birth control. These pills are not effective for abortion.

For abortion, medicine like MTP pill are used.
It contains mifepristol 1 tablet for oral intake and misoprostol for intravaginal use.
Firstly you need to consult a gynecologist and discuss all the pros and cones of abortion and the medicines. Abortion may have its side effects like abdominal cramps, irregular periods and infertility.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
