Levonorgestrel Medical Information
Upostelle is an emergency contraceptive that can be used within 72 hours of unprotected sex or if your usual contraceptive method has failed. Upostelle contains a synthetic hormone-like active substance called levonorgestrel. It prevents pregnancy in 99% of situations when you take it within 72 hours of having unprotected sex. It will not prevent a pregnancy every time and is more effective if you take it as soon as possible after unprotected sex. It is better to take it within 12 hours rather than delay until the third day.
Upostelle is thought to work by:
► Stopping your ovaries from releasing an egg.
► Preventing sperm from fertilising any egg you may have already released.
Take the tablet as soon as possible, preferably within 12 hours, and no later than 72 hours (3 days) after you have had unprotected sex. Do not delay taking the tablet. The tablet works best the sooner you take it after having unprotected sex. It can only prevent you becoming pregnant, if you take it within 72 hours of unprotected sex.
If you are sick (vomit) within three hours of taking the tablet, you should take another tablet.
• If you are allergic to levonorgestrel or any of the other ingredients of this medicine.
