Postinor-2 Emergency Contraceptive Pill | 72-Hour Pregnancy Prevention

Description

Product Description

Postinor-2 is a levonorgestrel-based emergency contraceptive for women, designed to reduce the risk of pregnancy after unprotected sex, condom breakage, missed pills, or other contraceptive mishaps. It works by delaying ovulation and thickening cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to reach an egg. Postinor-2 contains two tablets of 0.75 mg levonorgestrel, usually taken 12 hours apart, and is most effective when taken within 72 hours. It does not terminate an existing pregnancy, protect against STIs, or serve as regular contraception. Pistil provides discreet doctor-led consultations and teleconsult services to help women access emergency contraception safely and confidently.
