Postpill Tablet 1.5mg contains Levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestogen used as emergency contraception. This single-dose medication prevents pregnancy when taken within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. Uses Postpill Tablet is used as emergency contraception to prevent unintended pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse, contraceptive failure, or suspected contraceptive failure. Restore the feeling of control over reproductive health when urgently needed, provide reassurance and allow continuation of birth control regimen. It’s most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, ideally within 12-24 hours. Benefits Prevents up to 89% of expected pregnancies when taken within 72 hours Single-dose convenience with no prescription required in many countries Does not affect future fertility or menstrual cycles long-term Can be used multiple times if needed (though not recommended as regular contraception) Reduces anxiety and stress following contraceptive accidents Available over-the-counter in most pharmacies Does not cause abortion if pregnancy has already occurred Safe for most women of reproductive age Works regardless of menstrual cycle timing How It Works Levonorgestrel in Postpill Tablet prevents pregnancy primarily by inhibiting or delaying ovulation. It may also alter the endometrial lining, making implantation less likely. The medication does not interrupt an established pregnancy and will not harm a developing fetus if pregnancy has already occurred. Dosage Indication Dosage Time Frame Emergency Contraception 1 tablet (1.5mg) Within 72 hours of intercourse Maximum Effectiveness 1 tablet (1.5mg) Within 12-24 hours Take Postpill as a single dose with water. Can be taken with or without food. If vomiting occurs within 3 hours, repeat the dose. Duration of Action Postpill Tablet works immediately after absorption, typically within 1-2 hours. Its contraceptive effect lasts for the current menstrual cycle only. The medication does not provide ongoing protection against pregnancy from subsequent unprotected intercourse. Side Effects Common side effects include nausea, fatigue, headache, dizziness, breast tenderness, and abdominal pain. Some women experience irregular bleeding or changes in their next menstrual period. These effects are typically mild and resolve within a few days. Warning Postpill is not intended for regular contraceptive use and should not replace ongoing contraception. It becomes less effective the longer you wait after unprotected intercourse. The medication does not protect against sexually transmitted infections. Seek medical attention if severe abdominal pain occurs, as this may indicate ectopic pregnancy. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Postpill should not be taken if pregnancy is confirmed or suspected. If pregnancy occurs despite taking the medication, there’s no evidence of harm to the fetus. Small amounts pass into breast milk, but breastfeeding can continue safely after taking Postpill.
