About Postinor
What is Postinor?
Postinor is a 2-tablet emergency contraceptive containing Levonorgestrel 0.75 mg per tablet. It's used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or when regular contraception fails, such as a broken condom or missed birth control pills. Postinor is an original emergency contraceptive brand from Hungary that has been trusted worldwide for over 40 years.
How does Postinor work?
The 2-tablet emergency contraceptive Postinor works by inhibiting or delaying ovulation, preventing an egg from being released for sperm to fertilize. It also thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg. However, if the egg has already been fertilized and implanted in the uterus, emergency contraception cannot terminate the pregnancy.
How to take Postinor
Take the first tablet as soon as possible after unprotected sex, then take the second tablet 12 hours later. It should be taken within 72 hours (3 days) after intercourse, but the sooner you take it, the more effective it is. Effectiveness is up to 95% when taken within 24 hours, dropping to approximately 58% when taken between 49-72 hours.
Side effects of Postinor
Possible side effects after taking the 2-tablet emergency contraceptive include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, breast tenderness, and irregular periods (earlier or later than usual). These symptoms are usually temporary and resolve within 1-2 days. If you vomit within 2 hours of taking the pill, you should take a replacement dose.
Precautions when using Postinor
Emergency contraception is not regular birth control and should not be used as a primary contraceptive method
Does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
If your period doesn't come within 3 weeks after taking the pill, take a pregnancy test
Those with a history of allergy to Levonorgestrel should not use this medication
Those with severe liver problems should consult a doctor before use
FAQs about Postinor
Can I take both emergency contraceptive tablets at once?
Yes. Research shows that taking both tablets together (Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg) is equally effective as taking them separately, and may be more convenient since you don't have to remember the second dose.
Can I use Postinor frequently?
Not recommended. Emergency contraception contains higher hormone levels than regular birth control. Frequent use may cause irregular periods, and it's less effective than regular contraceptive methods.
Does Postinor cause infertility?
There's no evidence that emergency contraception affects long-term fertility. You can get pregnant normally after your menstrual cycle returns to normal.
Can I use Postinor while breastfeeding?
Yes. Levonorgestrel is considered safe for breastfeeding mothers. If concerned, you can pump and discard breast milk for the first 8 hours after taking the medication.
How is Postinor different from 1-tablet emergency contraception?
The 1-tablet emergency contraceptive contains Levonorgestrel 1.5 mg in a single tablet, while Postinor 2-tablet version has 0.75 mg per tablet. Both are equally effective, but the 1-tablet version is more convenient as you only need to take it once.
