Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1] Tablet MARVELON is combined oral contraceptive pill.
2] It is used for contraception and needs to be taken for 21 days in row from day 2 of cycle.
3] In my opinion, taking single tablet is not of any help as emergency contraception.
4] It is advisable to take Plan B pill or i pill or unwanted 72 pill within 72 hours of unprotected sex, to be effective as emergency contraceptive pill.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
