Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
No , you can not use Primolut -N as an emergency contraception pill because it contain very low dose of hormone norethisterone which may not prevent pregnancy.
You can use it in postponement of period and in secondary amenorrhea cases( for withdrawal bleeding).
You can use I- pill(levonorgestrel) for emergency contraception.

Hi dr XXXXXXX
I had sex wid my husband on the 8th day of my cycle.My cycles are regular between 26-30 days on an average.We used condom but however it was not very succesful as aftr the intercourse when my husband came out the condom was left partially inside me and semen spillage was obvious on bed.however the condom did not rupture.So do u suggest any emergency contraception in this case??I am asking about primolut N to u as i was told that 2tablets 5mg each taken taken twice a day for 3 days can serve as emergency contraceptive.
