NOT used as a post-coital contra-ception
Correct Answer: Misoprostol
Description: Ans. is 'd' ie Misoprostol All the given options can be used for post coital contraception The books I have mentioned above as reference differ slightly. While Dutta and Novak do not mention Misoprostol. Shaws does not mention Danazol. According to Shaw's Misoprostol can be used for post coital contraception, " because of their luteolytic effect and increased motility effect on the fallopian tubes'' But, to your relief, I have confirmed this one from a Ilnd yr. Gynae resident whose topic for thesis is "Therapeutic Uses of Misoprostol" According to her Misoprostol has no role in post-coital contraception. So, rest assured and go for Misoprostol Also, Remember Other post-coital contraceptives Diethyl stilbestrol* Ethinyl oestradiol* Conjugated estrogen* Ethinyl oestradiol + Norgestrel Danazol* Mifepristone* Copper IUCD's*
