Thank you Helena,

But we don't want the baby right now, as we have a little baby boy of 2 years, can we use Famila 28, we used it last year and didn't have a pregnancy. Kindly feedback and thanks once again.

Hello again.

Famila is a contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. If you wish to terminate the pregnancy, you will need to seek out other options.

Jaweria,

I'm sorry but I cannot tell you which tablets to buy-- this is left up to your doctor to prescribe. 

The 7 brown pills in your package are the inactive pills that are not used as an emergency contraceptive because they will not protect you. 

If you don't understand how you should be taking your pills please contact your doctor as soon as you can,

Best,

Rosa
