Emergency Contraception💊

Emergency contraception is meant for occasional use, to reduce the risk of pregnancy after unprotected s*x 🤰🏽
It does NOT replace effective regulate contraception.

Levonorgestrel
Levonorgestrel whose common brand names may include Depregdina, Safe Pill, is an oral emergency contraception pill 💊

Depregdina is effective as emergency contraception drug that should be taken as soon as possible to increase efficacy. It is effective if taken within 72 hours (3 days)after unprotected s*x. The efficacy of this drug reduces with time or delay 🚨

Oral emergency contraceptives such as Levonorgestrel & Uripristal are NOT useful after ovulation 💡

There is a possibility that a higher body weight or Body Mass Index (BMI) could reduce the effectiveness of Levonorgestrel.

It is recommended that Levonorgestrel is used once in a menstrual cycle as repeated administration may bring about menstrual irregularities as side effects.
