Q: can i take emergency contraceptive pills like unwanted 72 if i am on norethisterone tablets for delaying my periods?

: Norethisterone is a progestin, and may reduce the possibility of pregnancy. Taking "unwanted 72" will not cause harm, but also may not prevent pregnancy if taken. Obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy.
