What is it used for?
Postinor-2 is an emergency contraceptive that can be used after unprotected sex or where a contraceptive method has failed. This type of contraception is often called "the morning-after pill".
Contraindications and cautions:
Postinor -2 can help to prevent you from getting pregnant, but you must take the first tablet within 72 hours (three days) of having unprotected sex. The tablets are more effective if they are taken as soon as possible after unprotected sex. You need to take the second tablet 12 hours (but no more than 16 hours) after the first.
Do not take Postinor -2 if:
• you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant
• your period is late, or your last period was unusual at all
• since your last period you have already had unprotected sex more than 72 hours ago (a pregnancy may have already occurred and the treatment won't work)
• you know you have an allergy to any of the ingredients of POSTINOR-2.
Tell your doctor, nurse or pharmacist if you have:
• a disease of your small bowel (such as Crohn's disease) that interferes with the digestion of your food
• severe liver problems
• high blood pressure
• diabetes mellitus
• heart disease or have had a stroke
• you have had breast cancer in the past
If any of these apply to you, Postinor -2 may not be suitable for you, or other types of emergency contraception may be better for you.
If you do become pregnant even after taking this medicine, it is important to see your doctor.
Postinor -2 does not work as well as regular methods of contraception.
This medicine will not protect you against sexually transmitted disease, only condoms can do this.
Side effects: Like all medicines Postinor -2 can have side effects:
You might feel sick for a short time after taking this medicine. About one in four women who take this medicine will feel sick.
You might actually be sick (vomit) after taking this medicine. Your period might be different. Most women will have a normal period at the expected time, but some may have their period later or earlier than normal. You might also have some irregular bleeding or spotting until your next period. If your period is more than 5 days late or is unusually light or unusually heavy, or especially painful, you should contact your doctor as soon as possible.
You might have tender breasts, headaches, lower abdominal (tummy) pain, diarrhoea, feel dizzy or feel tired after taking this medicine. These symptoms should get better within a few days. If the symptoms do not go away or get worse, you should contact your doctor without delay.
Interactions: Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines, as they may prevent Postinor -2 from working properly
• barbiturates and other medicines used to treat epilepsy (for example, primidone, phenytoin and carbamazepine)
• medicines used to treat tuberculosis (for example, rifampicin, rifabutin)
• a treatment for HIV infection (ritonavir)
• a medicine used to treat fungal infections (griseofulvin)
• herbal remedies containing St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum)
• you are taking cyclosporin (a medicine used to help the immune system).
If any of these apply to you P Postinor -2 may not be suitable for you, or other types of emergency contraception may be better for you.
