Unwanted 72 Emergency Contraceptive Pill

Unwanted 72 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 Unwanted 72 and emergency contraception, refer to trusted medical resources or consult a doctor.
