Postinor-2 is an over-the-counter emergency contraceptive (often referred to as the "morning-after pill"). The pack contains 2 tablets, each containing 0.75mg of Levonorgestrel (a synthetic progestogen hormone).
It is used as an emergency method to prevent unplanned pregnancy following unprotected sexual intercourse, contraceptive failure (such as a split or slipped condom), or missed birth control pills.
Postinor-2 works primarily by interrupting or delaying ovulation:
Prevents Egg Release: It stops or delays the ovaries from releasing an egg during your menstrual cycle.
Blocks Fertilization: It changes the cervical mucus and tubal movement, making it difficult for sperm to reach and fertilize an egg.
Not an Abortion Pill: Postinor-2 will not work if you are already pregnant, and it will not harm an established pregnancy.
🚨 Time Critical: The first tablet must be taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex—ideally within 12 hours, and no later than 72 hours (3 days). The sooner you take it, the higher the effectiveness.
🚨 Re-dosing Notice: If you vomit within 2 hours of taking either tablet, you must take another tablet immediately, as the medicine may not have been absorbed by your body.
🚨 Emergency Use Only: Postinor-2 is designed for emergency situations only. It should not be used as a routine, regular method of contraception, as it is less effective than standard daily contraceptives and can disrupt your menstrual cycle.
Method 1 (Standard 2-Dose Regimen):
Take the 1st tablet as soon as possible (within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse).
Take the 2nd tablet exactly 12 hours after taking the first tablet.
Method 2 (Single-Dose Alternative):
Alternatively, both tablets (total 1.5mg Levonorgestrel) can be taken together as a single dose as soon as possible within 72 hours.
How to Take: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, with or without food.
Postinor-2 is generally safe and well-tolerated, but temporary hormonal side effects may occur, including:
Nausea, lower abdominal pain, or fatigue.
Headache, dizziness, or breast tenderness.
Irregular bleeding or spotting before your next period.
Your next menstrual period may arrive a few days earlier or later than expected.
Keep the tablets in their original blister pack inside the outer box to protect from light and moisture.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C.
Keep strictly out of reach of children.
When taken within 24 hours of unprotected sex, Postinor-2 prevents around 95% of expected pregnancies. Its effectiveness decreases to about 85% if taken between 24 and 48 hours, and to 58% if taken between 48 and 72 hours.
No. Emergency contraceptive pills do not protect against HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted infections. Only latex or polyurethane condoms offer STI protection.
If your period is delayed by more than 5 to 7 days, or if you experience unusually light or heavy bleeding, you should take a home pregnancy test or consult a healthcare provider.
