Product Overview
i-pill is a highly effective emergency contraceptive pill containing the active ingredient Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg. It is specially formulated to prevent unintended pregnancy when used within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. i-pill offers women a reliable and convenient option for emergency contraception, providing peace of mind during unexpected situations.
Uses
i-pill is used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. It is not intended for regular contraception and should only be used as an emergency measure. i-pill works by preventing ovulation or fertilization, thereby reducing the risk of pregnancy if taken within the specified time frame.
How to Use
Take one i-pill tablet orally with water as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. It is most effective when taken within 12 hours and should be used within 72 hours (3 days) for maximum efficacy. If vomiting occurs within 2 hours of taking the tablet, consider taking another dose. However, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider for further guidance.
How it Works
i-pill contains Levonorgestrel, a synthetic hormone that works primarily by inhibiting ovulation, preventing the release of an egg from the ovary. Additionally, it may also alter the cervical mucus consistency, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg, or affect the lining of the uterus, preventing implantation. These mechanisms collectively reduce the risk of pregnancy when taken as directed.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dosage of i-pill is one tablet (1.5 mg) taken orally as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. It is essential to adhere to the prescribed dosing regimen and use the medication within 72 hours (3 days) for optimal effectiveness. Avoid taking more than one dose in the same menstrual cycle unless advised by a healthcare professional.
