I'm really worried because after having sex with my girlfriend, I gave her Unwanted 72. An hour later, she started having a headache. She felt better the next day, but then in the afternoon, her head began hurting again, this time not as bad. However, by nighttime, the pain got really intense. Could this be a side effect of the pill? What should I do to help her feel better?

Your girlfriend may be experiencing a side effect of Unwanted 72 emergency contraceptive pill. Headache is a common side effect of this medication. To help alleviate the headache, she can take a pain reliever such as Paracetamol (e.g. Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the headache persists or becomes severe, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried and hoping for some help. My doctor suggested my pregnant wife get Ovidac 5000 IU injections to help prevent a miscarriage. We managed to get one injection at a local store but we need two more for the next couple of weeks. I've already tried uploading the prescription, but our order got canceled. I'm having a tough time finding it anywhere nearby. What should we do next? Can you help us figure out how to get these important injections?
Since you mentioned that the injections were recommended to help prevent miscarriage, please ensure to keep your doctor informed about any issues with accessing the medication so that alternative treatments or options can be discussed.

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I'm married. My period was supposed to start around the 24th or 25th this month, but it's late. Usually, I have a regular cycle and it doesn't skip. This time, I tried to prepone my cycle by a couple of days, so I took Primolut N twice a day for three days on the 12th, 13th, and 14th. I waited 5 days after that for my period to start, but nothing happened. Could Primolut N be causing any side effects, like delaying my period or stopping it altogether? What should I do now?
rimolut N, containing norethisterone, can cause changes in menstrual cycle, including delayed or absent periods, as a common side effect, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods, and since you've already waited 5 days after stopping the medication, it's recommended to wait a few more days and if your period doesn't start, take a pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist for further guidance and to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalances.
