UNWANTED 72 TABLET 1'S

It is an emergency contraceptive tablet which is used in case of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

You should take it only in emergency situations such as unprotected sex, contraceptive failure (eg. broken condom) or irregular use of your birth control pills.

Take one tablet as soon as possible, not later than 72 hours of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.

The sooner you take it, the more effective it is. UNWANTED 72 TABLET 1'S significantly reduces your chances of becoming pregnant if used within 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.

It is almost safe for all women. Some common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, headache and lower abdominal pain may occur. Your breasts may become more tender than usual. There is a possibility of unexpected vaginal bleeding, but this should clear up by the time you get your next period. Your periods may become irregular. Go for a pregnancy test if they are delayed by more than a week.

Yes, it is safe during breastfeeding. It is unlikely to cause any significant effect on milk quantity that can affect the infant adversely.

It can be taken more than once in a month but it is advised only for emergency contraception. Keep using regular contraception like condoms, regular birth control pills, IUDs etc. for avoiding unwanted pregnancy.

Although UNWANTED 72 TABLET 1'S significantly reduces your chances of pregnancy, if your periods are delayed by more than a week, a pregnancy test is recommended. However, if you decide on continuing the pregnancy, you may do so as UNWANTED 72 TABLET 1'S does not work if pregnancy has already been established. It will not cause harm to the foetus.

No, it is not indicated for regular birth control. It is used only as an emergency measure after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure.

No, it does not offer any protection from HIV / AIDS or other Sexually Transmitted Disease (STDs). You can use condoms to protect yourself from STDs and HIV / AIDS.

Pregnancy starts once the fertilized egg gets attached to the lining of the uterus (womb). Abortion pills contain medicine, which hinders the development of a pregnancy after it has occurred and also alters the character of the womb lining in a way that the fertilized egg gets detached, hence causing abortion. On the other hand, emergency contraceptive pills like UNWANTED 72 TABLET 1'S contain female hormones which delay the release of egg or prevent movement of sperm towards the egg. This prevents fertilization and hence pregnancy. UNWANTED 72 TABLET 1'S does not have any effect on a fertilized egg and hence does not cause abortion.

Yes. It is effective if you have had several acts of intercourse in a short span of time. However, it is important that these acts have occurred within 72 hours before taking UNWANTED 72 TABLET 1'S. Also, since there is a chance of unintended pregnancy after frequent acts of unprotected sex in the same cycle, it is advisable to use a barrier contraceptive method (e.g. condom) until the next period even after using UNWANTED 72 TABLET 1'S.

Unwanted 72 is an emergency contraceptive tablet containing levonorgestrel, a synthetic progestin. It is used to reduce the risk of pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure, such as condom breakage, slippage, or missed regular contraceptive pills. It is intended for occasional emergency use and is not a substitute for regular, ongoing contraception.

No, Unwanted 72 is not an abortion pill. It does not terminate an existing pregnancy. It works mainly by delaying or preventing ovulation and may also interfere with fertilization or implantation if taken before these processes occur. If implantation has already taken place and pregnancy is established, Unwanted 72 will not be effective and will not disrupt the pregnancy.

Unwanted 72 can significantly reduce the risk of pregnancy when taken as directed, but it is not 100% effective. Its effectiveness is highest when taken as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse and decreases as the time interval increases. Even with correct use, a small chance of pregnancy remains. It should not be relied upon as a regular contraceptive method because it is less effective than routine options such as daily oral contraceptive pills or intrauterine devices.

Unwanted 72 is not recommended for regular or frequent use as a contraceptive method. It is designed only for emergency situations. Repeated use within the same menstrual cycle may lead to more pronounced cycle disturbances, such as irregular bleeding or unpredictable periods, and does not provide the same level of protection as regular contraceptive methods. For ongoing contraception, options like combined oral contraceptive pills, progestin-only pills, intrauterine devices, implants, or condoms should be discussed with a healthcare professional.

Common side effects of Unwanted 72 include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or cramps, fatigue, headache, dizziness, breast tenderness, and temporary changes in the menstrual cycle. The next period may come earlier or later than usual, and the bleeding may be lighter or heavier. These effects are generally mild and self-limiting. If side effects are severe, persistent, or if there is heavy or prolonged vaginal bleeding, medical evaluation is recommended.

If vomiting occurs soon after taking Unwanted 72, the medicine may not have been fully absorbed, and its effectiveness can be reduced. In such a situation, you should contact a healthcare professional promptly for advice. They may recommend taking another dose or using an alternative emergency contraceptive method, depending on the timing of vomiting and your individual circumstances.

There is no evidence that a single or occasional use of Unwanted 72 has long-term effects on fertility. Most individuals resume their normal menstrual cycle within the next month, although the timing of the next period may be temporarily altered. However, frequent reliance on emergency contraception is not advisable, and a more reliable, regular contraceptive method should be considered for long-term pregnancy prevention.

No, Unwanted 72 does not provide any protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or HIV. It only helps reduce the risk of pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. To reduce the risk of STIs, barrier methods such as condoms should be used consistently and correctly. If you are concerned about possible exposure to an STI, you should seek medical advice for appropriate testing and management.

Unwanted 72 is not intended for use in individuals who are already pregnant. It is unlikely to be effective once pregnancy has been established. If you suspect you might already be pregnant due to a missed period or pregnancy symptoms, you should consult a healthcare professional before taking any emergency contraceptive. If Unwanted 72 is inadvertently taken during an existing pregnancy, available data do not suggest it causes termination, but medical review is still advisable.

Caution is advised when using Unwanted 72 in individuals with a history of ectopic pregnancy, severe liver disease, certain malabsorption conditions, unexplained vaginal bleeding, or known hypersensitivity to levonorgestrel or any component of the tablet. People taking medicines that can reduce levonorgestrel levels, such as some antiepileptics, rifampicin-like antibiotics, or certain herbal preparations, may experience reduced effectiveness. In such cases, a healthcare professional should be consulted for individualized advice.

After taking Unwanted 72, it is common for the next menstrual period to be slightly earlier or later than expected. However, if your period is delayed by more than about one week beyond the expected date, or if you experience symptoms suggestive of pregnancy such as breast tenderness, nausea, or increased urination, you should perform a pregnancy test and consult a healthcare professional. This is particularly important if you had additional episodes of unprotected intercourse after taking the emergency contraceptive.
