Postinor 2 tablets
Postinor 2 tablets
Postinor is an emergency contraceptive that can be used up to 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse or when a regular contraceptive method fails. The Postinor anti-conception pill contains levonorgestrel, which is a synthetic substance chemically derived from hormones. Post-coital contraception serves as a "first aid" to prevent pregnancy after intercourse and is not suitable as a regular contraceptive.
Situations when to take Postinor:
There was unprotected sexual intercourse. The condom broke or slipped. You forgot to take your birth control pills. You are not sure about the timely interruption of coitus. You have been taking medication that may reduce the effectiveness of your regular contraceptive.
The pack contains 2 tablets.
Dosage and method of use
Postinor (formerly registered as Postinor-2) prevents 84% of expected pregnancies if taken within 72 hours of sexual intercourse that occurred without the use of regular contraception. Anti-pregnancy pills are more effective if they are given as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, preferably sooner than 12 hours. If you have decided to use Postinor, take both tablets at the same time as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. After three weeks, it is advisable to check for contraceptive failure with a pregnancy test or medical examination.
Postinor does not work if you are already pregnant and cannot terminate the pregnancy. This is not an abortion pill. If more than 72 hours have passed since unprotected intercourse, choose ellaOne emergency contraception.
Contraindications
can reduce the effectiveness of Postinor? A side effect of emergency contraception may be vomiting. If it occurs within 3 hours of taking Postinor, it is necessary to take two more tablets again. Taking certain medicines such as medicines for epilepsy, fungal diseases, tuberculosis or HIV Taking St John's wort supplements If you have further unprotected sex after taking Postinor Anti-Conception Powder, the medicine will not prevent pregnancy.
It is not advisable to use anti-pregnancy pills twice during one cycle. The pill after unprotected sex is less reliable in this case, and the risk of disrupting the menstrual cycle increases. Therefore, until the end of the cycle, use a barrier contraceptive such as a condom or a pessary and a spermicide such as the over-the-counter drug Pharmatex. If you have used emergency contraception after intercourse and are taking regular hormonal contraception, continue taking it without interruption.
What can be the side effects of Postinor?
After taking emergency contraception, you may experience tiredness, headache, a feeling of vomiting, breast tenderness or pain in the lower abdomen. Because it is a hormonal drug, it can disrupt regular periods. Menstruation may occur a few days earlier or later. If the menstrual bleeding is unusually weak or strong, or if it comes more than 5 days late, it is necessary to see a doctor.
Who is Postinor not suitable for?
Emergency hormonal contraception is not suitable for you if you have had fallopian tube inflammation or an ectopic pregnancy. It is also not recommended for diseases of the small intestine and severe liver disorders. Postinor, like other post-coital pills, is not intended for girls who have not yet had their first menstrual period. Taking an anti-pregnancy pill after intercourse is not advisable as a regular method of contraception. Treat taking the pill after intercourse truly as a last-resort pill and have your doctor recommend a reliable form of regular contraception.
