Brief Answer: XXXXXXX is better
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concerns and anxiety about it.
Take XXXXXXX tablets instead of very low dose levonorgestrel which will not be helpful. XXXXXXX is usually given as one tablet twice a day for 5 days but it is a prescription drug.
Take care.
Regards
Dr Manisha Jain.

and I want to know it's XXXXXXX or genera more safe in emergency contraceptive .
Brief Answer:
Can cause serious symptoms
Detailed Answer: XXXXXXX is safer.
Taking all tabs in one go (4 tablets today and 4 after 12 hours) is not the right approach as it can cause severe nausea and gastritis in some patients and also rapid mood changes and bloating of abdomen.
Some practitioners also give 2 tablets twice a day for 2 days.
In case you tolerate two tablets then you can opt for that regimen also.
But as I told you it is a prescription drug so you will need to fetch that from a gynaecologist.
All the best
