Q. Is a pregnancy test required after taking Nofear 72 1.5mg Tablet?

Although Nofear 72 1.5mg Tablet significantly reduces your chances of pregnancy, if your periods are delayed by more than a week, a pregnancy test is recommended.

Q. Can Nofear 72 1.5mg Tablet protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV/AIDS?

No, it does not offer any protection from HIV/AIDS or other STDs. You can use condoms to protect yourself from STDs and HIV/AIDS.

Q. What is the difference between “emergency contraceptive pill” and “abortion pill”?

Pregnancy starts once the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus (womb). Abortion pills contain medicine, which hinders the development of a pregnancy after it has occurred and also alters the character of the womb lining in a way that the fertilized egg gets detached, hence causing abortion. On the other hand, emergency contraceptive pills like Nofear 72 1.5mg Tablet contain female hormones which delay the release of the egg or prevent the movement of sperm towards the egg. This prevents fertilization and hence pregnancy. Nofear 72 1.5mg Tablet does not have any effect on a fertilized egg and hence does not cause abortion.

Q. Is Nofear 72 1.5mg Tablet effective if frequent acts of intercourse have occurred in a short duration of time?

Yes. It is effective if you have had several acts of intercourse in a short span of time. However, these acts must occur within 72 hours before taking Nofear 72 1.5mg Tablet. Also, since there is a chance of unintended pregnancy after frequent acts of unprotected sex in the same cycle, it is advisable to use a barrier contraceptive method (e.g., condom) until the next period, even after using Nofear 72 1.5mg Tablet.
