Postinor is an "emergency" contraceptive that can be used after unprotected intercourse or if another contraceptive method has failed. This type of contraception is often called the "post-intercourse pill." Postinor prevents approximately 84% of unintended pregnancies if both pills are taken simultaneously within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected intercourse. Postinor does not prevent pregnancy in all cases.
— The pill is most effective if taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse.
— This means it is better to take the pill within one day (24 hours) of unprotected intercourse than to wait until the third day (48 to 72 hours) after unprotected intercourse.
Postinor is believed to work by:
— suppressing the release of an egg from the ovary;
— If the egg is released, the drug prevents it from being fertilized. Therefore,
Postinor prevents pregnancy before it occurs. The drug is ineffective if you are already pregnant. Postinor can prevent pregnancy, but both tablets must be taken as soon as possible (preferably within 12 hours) and no later than 72 hours (three days) after unprotected intercourse. Postinor is not indicated for use before the onset of the first menstrual period (menarche).
Therapeutic indications: Emergency contraception for use within 72 hours after unprotected intercourse or if contraceptive failure occurs.
