According to Premier Review:
Plan A: within 72 hours, 2 combination pills and repeat dose in 12 hours Plan B: within 72 h Levonorgestrel 0.75 mg 2 doses 12 hours apart (fewer side effects, but is still called plan B) Plan C: RU486 (Mifepristone)-anti progestestin 600 mg orally followed by vaginal or oral prostaglandin within 36-48 hours has 95% success up to 9 weeks post coital! hope it answers you question |
