Question 10

Can you take necon 1/50 emergency contraception, and what is dosing recommendations if so?

Accepted Answer

"Emergency contraception" involves taking essentially a birth control pill  (or two, depending on the strength) after unprotected sex.  With Norcon 1/50, you would take only one for use as "emergency contraception" since it is a heavier dose than most commonly used pills these days. This kind of "morning after" contraception is not always successful, however.
