Description

Postinor (levonorgestrel) Tablets 0.75 mg.

Postinor is a medication that contains levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone that is similar to the naturally occurring hormone progesterone. Each tablet of Postinor contains 0.75 mg. of levonorgestrel. It is commonly used as an emergency contraceptive to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.

Indications:

Postinor is indicated for use as an emergency contraceptive to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It should be taken as soon as possible after intercourse and within 72 hours (3 days) for maximum effectiveness.

How It Works:

Levonorgestrel works primarily by preventing or delaying ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). It may also make the uterine lining less receptive to implantation of a fertilized egg and thicken the cervical mucus to inhibit sperm penetration.

Dosage and Administration:

The usual dosage of Postinor is one tablet (0.75 mg) taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It is most effective when taken within 12 hours of intercourse but can be taken up to 72 hours (3 days) after. If vomiting occurs within 2 hours of taking the tablet, another dose should be taken.

Contraindications:

  • Known or suspected pregnancy
  • Hypersensitivity to levonorgestrel or any components of the tablet
  • Severe liver disease
  • Undiagnosed vaginal bleeding
  • Known or suspected breast cancer

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Postinor may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and changes in menstrual bleeding. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. If any severe or persistent side effects occur, seek medical attention.

Precautions and Warnings:

  • Postinor is not intended for regular contraceptive use and should only be used as an emergency contraceptive.
  • It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
  • If you experience severe abdominal pain after taking Postinor, seek immediate medical attention as it may indicate a rare but serious ectopic pregnancy.

Storage:

Store Postinor tablets at room temperature (15-30°C) in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Conclusion:

Postinor (levonorgestrel) Tablets 0.75 mg. are a safe and effective emergency contraceptive option for preventing pregnancy after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure. It is important to follow the dosage and administration instructions carefully and be aware of potential side effects and contraindications. If you have any concerns or questions about using Postinor, consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
