Hello,
Ovral G is used for contraception and to treat irregular menstruation. To postpone periods you can take Norethisterone, you can take three tablets a day, starting three to four days before you expect your period to begin. Once you stop taking the medicine, your period should begin within two to three days. After having unprotected sex if you are not on regular CP pills, you should take emergency CP within 72 hours of unprotected sex to avoid getting pregnant.
However, Emergency CP or CP pills protects from unwanted pregnancy not from sexually transmitted diseases. You are suggested to use condoms & avoid multiple partners. Always perform safe sex.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
