• Q. Q. What is the difference between 'emergency contraceptive pill' and 'abortion pill'??
  Ans: Pregnancy starts once the fertilized egg gets attached to the lining of the uterus (womb). Abortion pills contain medicine, which hinders the development of a pregnancy after it has occurred and also alters the character of the womb lining in a way that the fertilized egg gets detached, hence causing abortion. On the other hand, emergency contraceptive pills like Leedoz 72 Tablet contain female hormones which delay the release of egg or prevent movement of sperm towards the egg. This prevents fertilization and hence pregnancy. Leedoz 72 Tablet does not have any effect on a fertilized egg and hence does not cause abortion.
• Q. Q. Is Leedoz 72 Tablet effective if frequent acts of intercourse have occurred in a short duration of time??
  Ans: Yes. It is effective if you have had several acts of intercourse in a short span of time. However, it is important that these acts have occurred within 72 hours before taking Leedoz 72 Tablet. Also, since there is a chance of unintended pregnancy after frequent acts of unprotected sex in the same cycle, it is advisable to use a barrier contraceptive method (e.g. condom) until the next period even after using Leedoz 72 Tablet.
