Medicinal Product - emergency contraception for use up to 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse or after failure of the contraceptive method used, contains levonorgestrel, for adults and adolescents, 1 tablet
Escapelle is an emergency contraceptive that can be used within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse or after failure of your usual method of contraception. It is available as a dispersible tablet that dissolves in the mouth.
Dosage and method of use
Dosing: The tablet must be taken as soon as possible, preferably within 12 hours, but no later than 72 hours after unprotected intercourse.
Use: Escapelle contains a synthetic hormone-like drug called levonorgestrel. It prevents conception in about 84% of expected pregnancies if used within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. It probably acts by preventing the egg from being released from the ovary, preventing the sperm from fertilizing any egg that may have already been released.
Notice: Over-the-counter medicine. Read the package leaflet carefully before use. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Keep out of reach of children. If side effects occur, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
