I-Pill: let's talk about family planning


I-pill talking about the negtive

Ipill, an emergency contraceptive pill, is gaining popularity among teenagers, despite of repeated warning from doctors aginst its use.Ipill as suggested by doctors is only proved for women aged from 25-45.

Since ipill is an over the counter product, one doesn’t need a prescription, The trend is more prevalent among the affluent class.“But a pill like ipill is bound to spread,” says RS Gupta of Paras Chemist, Saket. An industry official says, “The iPill is meant for women aged 25 to 45. Chemists should not sell it to youngsters. about ipill

Ipill can be potentially harmfull since it is a hormonal pill".Frequent use can cause ovarian damage and menstrual problems, especially among younger girls.

Certain side effects of ipill as mentioned by ISARC reserchers include, reduced sex interest, skin allergies and lose of vigour.Long time effects of a hormonal pill cant be predicted.Continues use may reduce the chances of future pregnency too.cautions reserchers.

I-Pill: let's talk about family planning

We can't miss the hi voltage campaign Cipla has unleashed for ipill. What's interesting is how safe the advertiser has kept his communication. Husbands and wives, birth control and family planning. You know - we Indians have sex only when married and more so use contraception because producing another child into this world would mean additional burden to the nation.

But getting back to the ipill, you can see why the advertiser is treading so cautiously. He wouldn't want to be accused of corrupting our Indian youth and so on and so forth.

As the revelries of Navratri draw closer, condom once again has become the worst word. While the NGOs working for AIDS control are steering clear from condom promotion programmes that they usually launch during the festival, the Bajrang Dal has said it will not tolerate any condom promotion or HIV/AIDS awareness programmes around Garba venues this time.

"After iPod, Ipill gains popularity with youth", reported the midday. Cipla is all set to make sure ipill is the most used emergency contraceptive pill available.

“This product is a boon for married women not planning to conceive. But it may be misused by the youth especially during Navratri when unmarried pregnancies go up.” quoted ankita kapoor ,famous gyneck

The reason for all the action around Navratri is related more to opportunity than anything else. A lot of young people, esp girls, are allowed to stay out late. Dressed in sensuous chaniya cholis and whirring to the dandiya beat , hormones are bound to get into a tizzy. Pehle hota tha, ab bhi hoga. Instead of a botched abortion, many a young woman will opt for an ipill.

But the two messages "prevention of pregnancy" and "prevention of HIV/ sexually transmitted diseases" have become independent of each other. The iPill can help with the first bit but do nothing for the second.

It would be terrible if young people decide to adopt the convenient route: Condom nahi hai? Koi baat nahin - you can always use the iPill. So let's go ahead anyways..The danger of using ipill is forseenj. Thereshould be some statutory warning on the pill cover to aviod it from misuse.

That's not what the advertiser has intended, but I bet a lot of folks will interpret it that way. If we accept that the ipill will be used by unmarried guys and girls, we can address this issue.But hello, yeh hai India. We will have to continue the charade and keep promoting 'family planning'.

Why not bring back the red triangle as well? Dunno - it just makes me nostalgic :)

It's 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 iPill, that can prevent pregnancy if taken within 72 hours of having ‘unsafe’ sex.

Hi Mr. "Unknown"

Well as far as Pregnancy is concerned, you & your gf are safe as she's having her periods OK. Can't say anything about STD's (Sexually Transmitted Disease).

So... as it is said, Prevention is better then Cure...

Play Safe... Have Safe Sex.

Use CONDOMS.

I am a Mumbai-based journalist and am writing an article for an American magazine on the i-pill. I would like to speak with users of the i-pill about their experiences, particularly those who have had bad experiences. I do not need to use your real name or any details, and can change your name if necessary. The aim is to write a balanced article that can help clear ignorance about the i-pill. I have already spoken to top gynaecologists who say that the i-pill if misused can be very dangerous, and will be speaking to someone at Cipla.

I am a very experienced journalist and have written for several international publications. If you can help in any way, please email me at kavitha.m.rao@gmail.com with details of your experience, name ( you can give me a false one or nick-name) and phone number.

Many thanks,

Kavitha Rao

dear kavitha,

i used the ipill and had terrible uterine cramping the next day. Also have been suffering from irregular periods ever since

i would like to talk to you, please let me know your phone number

ipilluser -

this is just normal effect of the ipill after taking..So you need not to worry about it...

ipilluser  says:
11 months ago

You need not to worry as i-pill might cause the next period to come early or later than normal. But if the periods are delayed by more than a week, it is recommended to go in for a pregnancy test.

 

sheela  says:

ipilluser,

ipill is completely safe to use and the side-effects are very minimal - nausea, vomitting and early/late periods for a while. Millions of users worldwide have been using Ecpills without any worries. Cramps and irregular periods could be due to various other reasons like urinery infections, etc. Would suggest that you visit a gynec and get yourselg thoroughly checked or at least get a PAP smear.

I had my periods on 18th April and took an i pill on 26th. We did not have sex but as a precautionary measure took the pill. However, I started bleeding on the 2nd and it is still continuing (today is the 3rd). I have pain in my back and lower abdomen. Not sure when will this stop and whether I will have my normal cycle also. Please advise. Should I go and see a doctor or wait for things to get normal without doing anything.

IPILL IS A KILLING MEDICINE. DON'T GIVE IT EVEN TO YOUR ENEMY. IT IS SELLING TO LOOT POOR INDIANS. THE GOVT MUST BAN THIS MEDICINE. THE COMPANY HAS IMITATED THE MEDICINE FROM "NORLEVO", A FRENCH CAPSULE. SO AVOID IPILL. ....

Suggest ANYONE should NOT help these Dogs & Bitches performing heinous crime of having pre-aged and pre-marital sex.Where is the self control and self esteem that our religious books teach in India?I will do anything for Cipla if they stop promoting i-pill that may include working for them without salary.Our society is already like a loose fabric.Now stop taring this loose fabric apart!If you feel depressed PLEASE stop smoking, drinking or having illicit relationship.Sex is not a matter for Enjoyment.Don't insult your body, particularly ladies, it has got sanctity beyond your comprehension.You are the Mother Earth personifited.We would not have seen the light of the world without our mother.Undertand when you grow up I think you will not like to allow your children to have or promote 'free sex' in front of your eyes however 'liberal' you are, will you? Ask yourself : the answer is 'NO'. Ask your inner self I am sure your mind will protest.Right?And if you have done the same you will carry this stigma throughout your life even if you don't disclose it to any.This is true for both me and you.You will never be able to look straight into the eyes of your child and shout at him or her for the right cause.If you are into it, you are into an irreversible process, you have to suffer, so better be careful and refrain from further damaging your image.Bf's and Gf's doesn't work.Rampant sex is meant for lesser evolved animals.Thanks
