Today is the 13 th day from starting her period. Is the unwanted 72 tablet is ok to take because I have already bought it. another thing is that can she continue the primolet N?

Brief Answer:
She can take unwanted 72.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Primolut N is a synthetic progesterone that is given to regularise the periods or to decrease the bleeding. It is not a contraceptive and cannot prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
It is best to take unwanted 72 tablet to prevent unwanted pregnancy. She can continue taking Primolut N and taking unwanted 72 can cause an irregular bleeding.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Yes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
She can take both. But it is better to use a regular contraceptive like oral pills and avoid such incidences in future.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.

Thanks. I want to know just one things that by taking this unwanted 72 and primolut N simultaneously when she can expect her next period? Today is the 14th day of her period. By taking this medicine for one time will it effect her next few upcoming periods? (Like irregular period).

I am waiting to hear from you.

Brief Answer:
There can be mild spotting after 2-3 days.

Detailed Answer:
She can have mild irregular spotting 2-3 days after taking unwanted 72 pill. She will have her proper periods once she stops taking Primolut N. Next periods will not be affected due to unwanted 72 pill.
