"Postinor" nicknamed the "morning after pill" is officially allowed to sold by pharmacies without prescription.This pill is meant for emergency contraception.They are meant to be given to a rape victim or in case of a ruptured condom and meant to be taken within 72 hours of the incident.
This pill has a huge dose of a hormone called progesterone.The salesmen in pharmacies promote the pill for routine use.This results in highly irregular menstrual cycles.This happens when a woman uses the pill several times a month.This leads to unwarranted fear and expensive medical consultations
"Postinor" in fact is only a emergency contraceptive agent and not strictly a "morning after "pill. A married couple may use it when a condom breaks or when intercourse occurs without contraception in an unexpected situation.( like the husband working abroad comes home suddenly for a short visit) On the other hand if a lady has taken "Postinor"she need not worry if periods become sightly irregular.
