prevention tablets -so essential in family life during some special months of reproductive

Is most effective after-sex contraceptive (emergency
contraceptive) –pills i.e. Ullipristal available in Indian market??
Availability of
Ullipristal in Indian market? Ella one is the trade name of ullipristal.
At western part of the globe this available as Ella one but till date such tablet
is not approved in India as EC though it is sparingly used to decrease the size
of benign tumours of womb (uterus-fibroids / myoma).
Ullipristal is available as 5 mg tablets

Rs.150/- . If one intends to use such tablets as EC then she has to consume
total six tablets at a time and cost of such 6 tablets will be 150/- × 6 tab =Rs. 900/ !!!
How does Ullipristal drug works? Both Levonorgestrel
and Ullipristal are believed to work by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, or by
keeping preventing the fertilized egg from implanting in the walls of womb.
However, such emergency pills may not be effective once the fertilized egg has
implanted.
Efficacy of pregnancy prevention: The
efficacy of pregnancy prevention varies depending on the cycle day on which
unprotected sex occurred and time interval of taking the emergency pills after
such unprotected sex. By and large ullipristal is about 98% effective whereas
IUDs are 99 % and Progesterone only pills are about 75-80% effective, which
means the number of women who would be expected to become pregnant after
unprotected sex drops from eight without the “morning after pill” to two when
emergency pills are used-
