Description
Uses:
Postpill, containing Levonorgestrel 1.5mg, is an emergency contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure, such as a broken condom. It's most effective when taken as soon as possible after intercourse, ideally within 72 hours, but it's most efficient within the first 24 hours. Levonorgestrel works by preventing or delaying ovulation and altering the cervical mucus to lower the chances of fertilization.
Precautions:
- Take Postpill as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse.
- It's not a regular contraceptive and should be used only in emergencies.
- Do not use if already pregnant, as it will not terminate an existing pregnancy.
- Notify your healthcare provider about any allergies or medical conditions before using.
Side Effects:
- Common side effects might include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and changes in menstrual bleeding patterns.
- These side effects are typically mild and temporary.
Postpill, containing Levonorgestrel 1.5mg, should only be used as an emergency contraceptive. If you have specific concerns about its usage, consult with your healthcare provider or a pharmacist for guidance.
