About this item
Postinor-2, commonly known as the morning-after pill, is used only as an emergency contraceptive. It is used to prevent pregnancy when taken within 72 hours (3 days) of unprotected intercourse. It is not used as a regular, long-term method of contraception.
Uses of Postinor 2
Postinor 2 is primarily used for:
- Preventing unintended pregnancies after unprotected intercourse or contraceptive failure (e.g., broken condom, missed birth control pill).
- Reducing the risk of pregnancy when no contraception was used during intercourse.
- It is not intended for regular contraception but as an emergency measure only.

Postinor 2 contains Levonorgestrel (1.5 mg) as the active ingredient. Levonorgestrel is a synthetic progestogen that works by:

How Postinor 2 Works
Levonorgestrel, the active ingredient, prevents ovulation and fertilization by altering hormone levels. If ovulation has already occurred, it may make the uterine lining less receptive to implantation.

- Suppresses ovulation, preventing egg release.
- Alters cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg.
- Affects the uterine lining, reducing the chances of implantation.
Interactions of Postinor 2
- Drug Interactions:
- Effectiveness may be reduced by certain medications, such as:
- Rifampin (tuberculosis treatment)
- Antiepileptic drugs (phenytoin, carbamazepine)
- St. John’s Wort (herbal supplement)
- Effectiveness may be reduced by certain medications, such as:
- Food Interactions: No major restrictions.
- Alcohol & Smoking: No significant interactions, but excessive alcohol may reduce effectiveness.
Additional Information about Postinor 2
- Good to Know: Postinor 2 is not an abortion pill and will not work if pregnancy has already occurred.
- Allergy Information: Avoid if allergic to levonorgestrel or lactose (contains lactose).
- Conditions it Helps With: Emergency contraception only, not a routine birth control method.
- Recommended Frequency: Use only in emergencies, not more than once per cycle.
