Which of the followings when used within 72 hours of coitus, can be very effective as emergency contraceptive?
a. Administration of progestogens alone
b. Administration of progestogen and estrogen combinations
c. Insertion of IUDs within uterus
Choose the correct option
Solution:
Emergency contraceptives are used to avoid possible pregnancy due to unprotected coitus or failure of contraception during coitus. These include the administration of progestogens alone or in combination with estrogen, or the insertion of IUDs (Intrauterine Devices) within 72 hours of coitus. These methods are very effective in preventing pregnancy.
