I-pill is a product targeted at her 38-year-old mother but it’s 16-year-old Pihu Vohra (name changed) who is using the widely advertised emergency contraceptive Intelligent Pill, or i-pill, that can prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of having ‘unsafe’ sex.
Pihu isn’t the only one. “This month, at least 10 to 12 teenagers have come to us for the i-pill,” says Vinay Malik of Apollo Pharmacy, Kailash Colony. “After I learnt about the pill, I decided to be doubly safe,” says Divya Goel (name changed), a Class XI student. Now, her partner uses the condom and later, she pops the pill.
“This can be very harmful as it’s a hormonal pill,” cautions gynaecologist Dr Rita Bakshi. Frequent use can cause ovarian damage and menstrual problems, especially among younger girls, she adds.

Dear Viewers,
Kindly be extra careful while using this I Pill, as this product (Levonorgestril) is supposed to serve the purpose of Emergency Contraceptive ONLY !!!
Regular use is a serious health hazard which can damage the normal functioning of female reproductive system, and may lead to infertility at later stage.
It was introduced for women, who have unwanted, or accidental sex, like raped or unknown sex partner, one night stand without condom due to excessive alcohol/drug.
And, is in no way advisable for regular mode of contraception, especially for teenagers.
Remember, CONDOM is the best mode, and female condoms like today are available, in case your man doesn't want to use one. But, it won't protect u from STD's or HIV..
HaVE SAFE SEX....
