The Unwanted-72 tablet is an emergency contraceptive pill containing the synthetic hormone levonorgestrel (1.5mg). It is used to prevent unintended pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or a known/suspected contraceptive failure.
Key Details
- Usage: It is a single-dose tablet that must be taken orally as soon as possible, and no later than 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex. Its effectiveness decreases significantly as more time passes within this window.
- Mechanism: It works primarily by preventing or delaying ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). It may also hinder the fertilization of the egg or prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine wall.
- Not an Abortion Pill: Unwanted-72 prevents pregnancy from starting, but it cannot terminate an existing pregnancy.
- Not for Regular Use: Due to its high hormone dose, it is intended only for occasional, emergency situations and not as a routine method of birth control. Frequent use can lead to menstrual irregularities and other complications.
- STD Protection: The tablet does not offer any protection against Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) or HIV/AIDS. Barrier methods like condoms are necessary for STD protection.
Common Side Effects
Most side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a day or two. They can include:
- Nausea and occasional vomiting
- Headache and dizziness
- Lower abdominal pain
- Tiredness/fatigue
- Breast tenderness
- Irregular vaginal bleeding or spotting before the next period
- Changes in the timing, flow, or duration of your next menstrual period
Precautions & Warnings
- Vomiting: If you vomit within two hours of taking the tablet, you should consult a doctor as you may need to take another dose.
- Missed Period: If your period is delayed by more than a week, you should take a pregnancy test and consult a doctor.
- Medical Conditions: Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have a history of blood clotting disorders, liver disease, breast cancer, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
- Other Medications: Unwanted-72 may interact with certain medications, including those for epilepsy or tuberculosis. Always inform your doctor about all current medications.
