I-Pill Emergency Contraceptive Pill

I-Pill is an emergency contraceptive pill designed to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure (e.g., a broken condom). It contains levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestin hormone, which works by delaying ovulation, preventing fertilization, or stopping a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.

Key Details: 1.  Effectiveness: It is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, ideally within 24 hours, but can work up to 72 hours. Its effectiveness decreases over time.     2.  Dosage: Usually taken as a single-dose tablet.     3.  Availability: Sold over-the-counter in many countries, including India.

4.  Side Effects: May cause nausea, fatigue, headache, dizziness, irregular bleeding, or changes in the menstrual cycle.

5.  Not for Regular Use: It is not a substitute for regular contraception methods like birth control pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), or condoms.

It is important to consult a healthcare provider for advice on regular contraceptive methods and for clarification on its use. For more information on the I-Pill and emergency contraception, refer to trusted medical resources or consult a doctor.
