Back- up 1.5mg

Back-Up 1.5mg Overview Back-Up 1.5mg is a morning-after pill used for emergency contraception. It contains the active ingredient levonorgestrel, which helps prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. Back-Up 1.5mg is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse, within 72 hours (3 days). Key Benefits

Effective Emergency Contraception: Reduces the risk of pregnancy by preventing ovulation or fertilization. Single-Dose Convenience: Contains a single 1.5mg dose of levonorgestrel for immediate and effective action. Time-Sensitive Efficacy: Works best if taken within 24 hours after unprotected intercourse, though still effective up to 72 hours after.

How to Use

Dosage: Take one tablet orally as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure. Timing: Ideally, take within 24 hours of intercourse, and no later than 72 hours for maximum effectiveness.

Precautions

Pregnancy: Not suitable if you are already pregnant, as it will not terminate an existing pregnancy. Frequent Use: Should not be used as a regular contraceptive method due to its higher hormone dosage. It is designed for emergency use only. Existing Medical Conditions: Consult with a healthcare provider if you have a history of ectopic pregnancy or other health concerns.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include nausea, fatigue, headache, dizziness, and changes in menstrual flow. If vomiting occurs within 2 hours of taking the pill, another dose should be taken.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Back-Up 1.5mg provides an effective option for emergency contraception when you need it most. Remember to consult your healthcare provider for advice on long-term contraceptive methods for consistent protection.
