How Is Gracial Birth Control Pills Used?
Question: Can I use 2 pills of gracial and another 2 pills after 24 hours as EC? And do I need to continue taking gracial for 7days? I wasn't previously on birth control.
Brief Answer:
FOLLOW THE ADVICE.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
You should take 4 pills of GRACIAL immediately after unprotected sex (within first 24 hrs) and another 4 pills after 12 hrs to get highest protection against unwanted pregnancy. It will be effective as emergency contraception.
However, you DON'T need to continue GRACIAL pills after taking above mentioned dose (4 + 4 pills). You will get a withdrawal bleeding within 5 to 7 days and next period may be delayed for 1-2 weeks due to hormonal imbalance.
Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
Wish your good health and practice safe sex in future.

Dr Soumen
