A member asked:
Effective to take several loestrin (1.5mg ethinyl estradiol, 30mcg norethindrone acetate) instead of plan b emergency contraceptive? how many pills?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
EC: Although there are at least a dozen types of birth control pills that can be dosed as an emergency contraceptive, I can find no source that includes Loestrin among them. Perhaps someone else has a regimen, but I recommend getting Plan B or the like to ensure you get the maximum benefit.
