Product Description

Levonorgestrel belongs to the family of medications known as progestins. Progestins are female sex hormones that are used in birth control pills and often in combination with the hormone estrogen.

Levonorgestrel is a progestin-only emergency birth control pill intended for use within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse. It should only be used by people whose regular birth control methods have failed or who may have had intercourse without birth control. It is not a substitute for correct use of regular birth control.

This medication is believed to prevent pregnancy primarily by delaying ovulation or preventing fertilization of the egg. It may also prevent implantation of the egg by altering the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus). It is important to realize that once implantation has occurred and pregnancy is established, levonorgestrel cannot cause an abortion or harm the fetus. No serious complications have been reported with this medication.

This medication reduces the risk of pregnancy among users from around 8% to around 1% after unprotected sexual intercourse. It is most effective in the first 24 hours after intercourse.

Ingredients

Levonorgestrel

How to use

The 1.5 mg tablet contained in the kit should be taken as soon as possible within 72 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse. The medication is most effective if taken within 12 to 24 hours of unprotected sexual intercourse.

But to prevent the copper wire -the contraceptive wire which is subjected to a process of corrosion for being able to achieve its contraceptive objective- breaking into two or more parts when it is corroded at specific points along it, a special copper contraceptive wire has been designed. In silver Intrauterine Contraceptive Devices the copper contraceptive wire has a silver core, making up approximately one third of the total diameter.
