Postinor 0.75 Mg Tablet 2 Tablets

Postinor 0.75 Mg Tablet 2 Tablets is a medication used as an emergency contraceptive after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. This medication contains the active ingredient Levonorgestrel, a type of synthetic progestin that works by preventing the release of an egg from the ovary or preventing sperm from fertilizing an already released egg.

Uses of Postinor Tablets

• Postinor tablet is an emergency contraceptive that can be used within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure.

• It contains an active ingredient similar to synthetic hormones called Levonorgestrel, which prevents pregnancy in 99% of cases when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse. However, it is important to note that it does not prevent pregnancy in every case and is more effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex.
