    Description:

    Preventol 0.75mg Tablet is an effective contraceptive option used by women to avoid an unintended or unwanted pregnancy. It is usually used after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure (where the contraceptive method was broken/slipped/missed). It must not be used as a regular contraceptive method.

    Preventol 0.75mg Tablet comes as a single tablet or dose, which can be taken with or without food. It must be taken as soon as possible, within 72 hours (3 days) after the first episode of unprotected sex or contraceptive failure has occurred. It works primarily by preventing or delaying the release of an egg from the ovary (also known as ovulation), and therefore, the sooner it is used, the better.

    What is the difference between “emergency contraceptive pill” and “abortion pill”?

    Pregnancy starts once the fertilized egg attaches 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 Preventol 0.75mg Tablet contain female hormones which delay the release of the egg or prevent the movement of sperm towards the egg. This prevents fertilization and hence pregnancy. Preventol 0.75mg Tablet does not have any effect on a fertilized egg and hence does not cause abortion.

    Is Preventol 0.75mg Tablet effective if frequent acts of intercourse have occurred in a short duration of time?

    Affirmative. It is effective if you have had several acts of intercourse in a short span of time. However, these acts must occur within 72 hours before taking Preventol 0.75mg Tablet. 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 Preventol 0.75mg Tablet.
