A member asked:

How many tablets of microlut (levonorgestrel .03mg) shall be taken as a substitute in case night after pill is not available?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Not a great sub: Microlut is not a great substitute for available over the counter emergency contraceptive pills. The typical dose of emergency birth control is 0.75mg Since Microlut only contains 0.03 mg it is not a good alternative to use for emergency birth control
